Looking to purchase a pair of new ML's for next 2020 season.
I've read a vast array of reviews covering a variety of topics including performance and pricing.
Most likely down to CVA or TC. Haven't read a whole lot about the Traditions line.
Just looking for some feedback from actual users.
I own a CVA. It performs fine, but you should know that getting parts for it in Canada is a nightmare. It's almost like the U.S. manufacturer doesn't give a damn about Canadian customers.
I have two traditions pursuit G4 muzzleloaders one has thumbhole stock it’s a joy to carry. Never any problems other than scopes
Cleanup after blackhorn209 is easy preasy
Just picked up a Traditions Buckstalker.
Sighted in well, and is a pretty simple rig.
I love my TC Omega,but removing the breach plug is a bit of a pain and time consuming. If i would buy again,i would buy the TC Impact because of that,
I have a CVA Optima V2 with 26" nitride barrel, bushnell trophy 3-9x40 and $200 worth of bullets , powder pellets and cleaning supplies. Bought it 2 years ago a week before a surgery that didn't go well and I've never taken a shot out of it. Thinking I may as well sell it. Shoot me a PM if your interested.
For one week a year, you can't go wrong with a CVA wolf. ( That was my reasoning anyways. To each their own). The optima and accuras are nice as well.
TC encore pro hunter I was fortunate enough to hunt with and take two deer with. Again, very nice gun but much more $$. (Only reason I got to use that gun is a coworker let me borrow).
Agree Dano 19
Why would they ? Our numbers are but a small blip on their radar. Most ML's are sold thru US companies like Bass Pro /Cabela's to their stores in Canada and probably invisible to the manufacture.Quote:

Took my ML out for both weeks of Rifle and both Turkey seasons...no restriction on what season you use one :)Quote:

I love my TC triumph, easy to use and very reliable, but go with the gun that you feel fits you the best
The 10 % sales(even 7%)of their Mfg. is actually in par with the population difference USA-Canada.I think it is quite reasonable number.Remington would not know that????Quote:

Oh ,i almost missed-Canada is only so big IF comparing to the size of the USA popluation. (37 vs 330 mil)
Othervise ,we are 39-th in the world.(out of 233 countires)
Newbie last year, bought TC Impact package and never had no problems. Love it, its a blast. I did change scope to a Bushnell Elite 3500 2x7. Good Luck
I have a TC impact that I have a lot of faith in. I didn’t buy the scoped package as it was used off CGN. I put a Nikon in-line scope with the BDC reticle on it and it works great. With BH209 pushing Barnes bullets at 1950fps, I can kill out to 200+yds
I have the CVA Wolf with a busnell 2x7 and it works well. Actually feels a heck of a lot better than any shotgun I own... Very nice to shoot and it's accurate...
both are good reliable choices.
I went with the buckstalker last year. man its a cool gun to shoot. easy to clean and a nice all around beginners ML. solid knockdown power.
I use the cva wolf. Hands down one of the most accurate shooting guns I own. Highly recommend.
Look for a used Savage 10ML... ;)
I understand Big Jack knows a lad that has a slightly used one for sale HaHa...Quote:

Many fond memories of him and the farm, of which I still enjoy the pleasure of hunting!Quote:
