Title: starter muzzy
Post by: outdooraddict on April 20, 2022, 07:44:48 AM: looking for a starter muzzy, debating on doing muzzy this year. i dont need anything fancy, i do like the break-action style, any experience with the CVA wolf? looks to be a good starter based off reviews, and muzzle-loaders.com has it for $190, or is anyone looking/willing to offload a muzzleloader from their safe?

If you buy an optima, chances are you wouldnt buy another muzzleloader for a while. I would also recommend a peep sight. Not a fan of the factory rear sights

After you buy your rifle then buy a peeprib (https://www.eabco.net/PeepRib-Peep-Sights-for-CVA-Optima-Kodiak-Wolf-and-Accura_p_13910.html). I would personally consider this a required accessory.

That is a cool unit! And you are ready to mount that 4-12x50 scope when they are allowed on muzzies!

I have the peeprib on my CVA Accura, and it's great. I put on a front globe sight with crosshairs. I apply for Utah antlerless elk, and have a scope I mount on the peeprib. Nice to put on and take off when testing new bullets, or for the out of state hunts that allow scopes.
