Which muzzleloader would you buy next? I currently have a TC triumph and like it just fine. But I’ve been thinking about changing it up. I get that way sometimes. Accuracy and easy to maintain of course. I’m just out of the loop on the newest rifles out there.

I’d probably still buy the CVA I have now. Shoots great, fairly light and points good. I’ve thought about getting a TC or the Remington version but for a few days of hunting each year (that I really enjoy by the way), just don’t know that it would get used. I have a lot of confidence in the CVA.

Savage ML 2 Smokeless. Stainless steel and laminated stock. I own one best muzzle Loader out there. Unfortunately they don’t make them anymore so if you find one it’s gonna be pricey.

I really like the fit and finish on my Knight Mountaineer. The sky is the limit anymore if money truly isn't an issue. Cooper and Gunwerks are putting out some unreal muzzleloaders...

I’m actually saving my pennies to build a trade gun from a kit if I can’t find a used one. Sucks they cost as much as they do but I’m drawn to em. BUT if we’re daydreaming I want a Mike brooks custom flinter.:)

If y'all are looking for items, consider the National Muzzle Loading Rifle Association.

https://www.nmlra.org/

Their big 10-day event in June includes traders and folks with a wide variety of items, from true flintlock rifles to caplock pistols. You could find flints, triggers, complete fancy or trade rifles, the works. Also have competitions. It's a cool event.

https://www.nmlra.org/calendar/2020junenationals

If you're thinking about going up for this, there is no lodging. The association is located in a spot about the size of my big toe. I think Versailles is the closest town with any lodging.

Life is a journey. Make sure and bring plenty of Beer.

My luck has been so bad lately, it could be raining pussies and I'd catch one with a dick broke off in it.

I wish I could sell mine. I've had it a couple years and haven't fooled with figuring it out.

I sold my T/C and bought a CVA Optima V2 to "downgrade" at ML since I don't use it much. The CVA out shoots the TC by a long margin. That's my personal experience, I'm sure others have different.

My Optima V2 is a shooter as well. I don't know that I'll ever have a muzzle loader as accurate as my old Remington 700ML but cleaning the Optima is a breeze vs cleaning the Remington.


I firmly believe that a double gallows should be constructed on the East Lawn of The White House. Politicians who willfully and shamelessly violate their oath to uphold and defend the Constitution of the United States of America should be swiftly tried and, upon conviction, publicly hanged at sunup the day after conviction. If multiple convicts are to be hanged they can choose with whom to share the gallows or names shall be drawn from the hangman's hat to be hanged 2 at a time.

I went from a TC to an Accura V2. I will say that the Accura is more accurate, and fits me better than the TC. Don't see myself wanting to upgrade anytime in the future.

Yeah buddy. Only bad thing about getting the bug is how expensive it can be. Theyre worth what you pay for them but on my income I have to be patient. I’ve already done the tc and Lyman route and while they’re completely capable I would like to make something to pass down.

I bought Kibler’s Southern mountain rifle kit. It was very easy to put together. Much nicer than a pedersoli. I want to get the colonial kit in .58 smoothbore.

Hayzeus: I want a 50 cal in the colonial. I don't have a decent woodworking area, or I would have already bought one. The SMR looks almost too long to me. How does it balance?

The barrel is swamped so it balances very well. It is a long rifle. 46 inch barrel. The gun is 5 foot 2 inches long. 6 pounds 10 oz. I figure the colonial kit is about 4 foot 10 inches or 5 foot.

I probably would say a knight ultra-lite. Though that 500 would be tempting.
