I want to buy a muzzleloader (I think)

[Useless]

I have many rifles and shotguns but have never used a muzzle loader. I want to buy one for deer hunting but I know nothing about them.

I don't want to spend a fortune on one because I will be using it a couple of days per year but it will be nice to have a break from bow when muzzleloader week comes around. My max budget is $350 with a scope/red dot. I see a couple in the for sale section that fit this price range. My priorities are 1 safety and easy to use 2 accurate to 100 yards 3 use the pellets rather than a powder measure.

Can anyone offer any advice on what I should look for/give me muzzleloader 101.

Look at the CVA Wolf. Great ML for the money. Affordable and accurate.

That is what I have.... I bought mine on sale a few years ago for well under $300 scope included....

Check out the thread below, it shows what bullets, power and primer I use...plus a lot of other info too.... At first it might seem a little intimidating but after trying it out a few times, it's easy.... The most important factor for me was to learn a loading routine that I can easily repeat.
Watch some youtube videos and if you get a chance, go out and watch first hand how it is loaded... Like I said, easy when you know how...

I had your thread in mind when I posted my reply, couldn't find it though...

A couple of friends own those as well, all positive reviews. I have the older Optima Pro and have no complaints.

CVA Wolf is a great budget muzzleloader.

Thanks for the responses. I'm going to look into the cva wolf some more.

The best advice that I can give is to shoulder an few different brands before you buy. I found the CVA product lines had a shorter stock than the Traditions line. I am tall with long arms and found the Pursuit pro sat/felt better than the Omega.

All else being equal (they all shoot great out to 100 out of the box) ...then 'fit' is probably the most important consideration in IMHO...

Another item for my wish list as well!

I went through this same learning process about 5 years ago. I bought a TC Impact and could not be more pleased with the gun. Cabelas has one with a Scope here: http://www.cabelas.ca/product/70161/...ope?CatId=2542

I have not put a scope on mine yet - the fiber optic sights are very good.

I use pyrodex pellets in mine so I don't have to worry about measuring powder.

Hope this helps you!
