Wife wants to buy me a muzzle loader...

CVA Accura 2. Very accurate and not expensive. Load up with Blackhorn 209 powder and 250 gr. bullet like a Barnes with a sabot and you've got a winning combo.

After a day on the range I take the barrel off and put them in the bath tub full of HOT water and dawn soap. Take out scrub repeat.

Exactly why I didnt care for the one I had

Unless you just want to hunt with one or have a muzzle loader season they are a pain imo..

I thought I wanted one until I had one..kept it for a couple months then sold it here.

Thing I hated was all the cleaning you had to do.. The powders are corrosive so after each time you shoot it you have to take it all apart and scrub the devil out of it. I dont have time for all that with little kids. You really dont get much yardage out of one and you cant exactly unload one without shooting it. Just wasnt for me.. Id have my wife buy me a nice rifle instead.

You can unload it they a CO2 hook up to push the load out
I have a TC. Omega composit stock with Thumb hole SS barrel .Beautiful gun put a Nikon BDC. SHOOTS GOOD 250 yrd

My wife wants me to trade all my stuff... How in the world do you pull this off? Will trade my stuff for answers...

There a ton of tricks to cleaning them and the new ones are easy to clean. D uring season I use Windex without ammonia to clean it

[Tommyh]

she hate you that bad? nah, theyre too much maintenance unless youre going to be hunting in states with ML seasons.

I have been shooting traditional black powder muzzle loaders for some time now. I've had them all it seems. It just seems to me that Thompson Center can't be beat. I hunt with a Thompson .54 cal and my personal favorite is a Thompson Black Mountain .50 cal. Between bows and muzzleloaders I guess you could call be a bit of a traditional hunter. Makes hunting just a little more fun to me.

Anything T/C and 209 primers....I shoot an Omega.

Not really much of a point to have one in Texas. I bought mine because I drew a muzzleloader tag here in Nevada.

I just went the cheap way at Gander Mt.and bought the CVA Wolf package
with everything you need to get started shooting.Even came with a DVD
to show you how everything works.Whole package cost around 200 bucks
and its fun to shoot.Easy cleaning breakover gun with a easy removable
plug.

If your gonna get a Muzzel loader, get a real one. Take a look at the October country rifles

[SARSpecialist]

Thanks for all the great input.. I want to hunt October (Bow) November December (Gun) and (Bow) and 15 days of Muzzel loader.. I want an inline type more modern looking with a scope.. my eye site is not that good anymore.

Cleaning is not a big deal as I clean all mine often.. shot or not.. just to remain familure with them and ensure that are service ready if I pick it up on a whim and go out to the woods.

Get a TC Pro Hunter, you can get other barrels for it so it is not just a muzzle loader.
