Title: Muzzleloader Suggestions
Post by: skywalker253 on May 09, 2014, 01:24:53 PM: I purchased my Multi Season Deer tag. I am looking to purchase a rifle to get practicing.

Any suggestions on what to buy, where to buy it, etc?

Do you have any suggestions for additional hunting items when using a Muzzleloader, which will make things easier?

Thanks for the help...

you are going to need a capper may be a short started a couple of speed loaders may want a nipple wrench to carry with you just depends on the extent you want to take it .i dont carry a hole lot just a few items to fix and issue that might come up when out in the woods and just a few speed loaders oh a good ram rod for sure not a wood one but one you can depend on out in the feild

Be more than happy to help you out if you are interested and figure out shipping. Shouldnt be more than $225 total with shipping. I almost bought it but decided my 58 was all i needed :chuckle:

Out of the box with 100 gr of BH209 and TC 250 grain and Super glide sabot, I got 1.5 inch groups. CVA has something like a 17 day warranty, if it is not the best patterning gun you have shot send it back for your money back. Also lifetime warranty.

IMO this is probably the best, but expensive - you can get them in Washington at various stores. Also consider the new DISC Extreme.
