Answer 1

I have a thompson-center black diamond. In my opion TC makes
the best ML you can buy.For close to the same price.

Answer 2

Check the muzzleloader hunting rules where you are, as well. For instance, in Idaho, that muzzleloader would be unlawful during a muzzleloader only hunt, due to it's inline nature and use of a "209" primer. The Lyman Deerstalker is a very nice muzzleloader, reasonably priced, traditional style with a "#11" percussion cap.

i have never used a CVA but the style of that particular muzzleloader is very popular right now, the TC Omega uses the same kind of action to it, I have used TC's from the start, they are more expensive, but are fine American Made Firearms, but that looks like a nice muzzleloader too, i am sure it would make a good hunting rifle.

Answer 4

It sure looks like a nice rifle, but it wouldn't be for me. I'm a traditionalist. To make deer hunting a real sport, I would get a well made flint lock rifle. Some of the reproductions are really good. This is what the pioneers used. It gives you a nice feeling to be able to put yourself back in those days, and use the same equipment that they used.

Answer 5

Buy the best one you can afford.If you're just getting started in muzzleloading,I'd suggest an inline rifle with a removable breech plug and stainless steel barrel.It makes cleaning WORLDS easier!I've been through two percussion guns because of improper cleaning.

From my experience CVA is decent but cheap.I personally use a T/C black diamond .45 cal with stainless barrel.I wouldn't start right off with an inline gun unless your state says they're illegal to use for hunting.But the CVA gun you've selected is a decent gun.

As for powder,go with Hogdon triple7.No sulfur,cleans easy and less corrosive.

Answer 6

Knight muzzleloaders are sturdy, reliable and effective. You cannot go wrong with one.

Answer 7

it in many circumstances relies upon on my temper. i be attentive to some people who hate water and while they play activities they simply drink gadorade. i admire water plenty, and soda is large too! so as that's a not ordinary one. So I say the two. Its form of humorous which you say that on condition that my maximum suitable chum won't drink water the two.

Answer 8

I like my Hawken in 50 cal, but whatever makes you happy. That is what is important.
