Traditions Buckstalker

[txvstar]

I always fire to clear at the end of the night, im not comfortable leaving a charge in the barrel, primer or no primer. Some powders/pellets are more corrosive than others and I am somewhat a clean freak when it comes to any of my firearms. Thats just me, plus most mfgs reccomend clearing the barrel before any storage, overnight or through to the next season. Several places online sell those Co2 barrel clearing gizmos, never tried one but ive heard they are useful. Other option if you can is to unscrew the breech and let it drop.

ive hate havin to waste shots .we have three weeks of hunting in mn. every night but i want to be sure the next day it will fire too ,it`s a deerstalker lyman so no clearing of breach .

just wanted to add something im heading out tomorrow so i pulled the cva wolf out of the case to give it the once over i inserted a rust preventer card in the barrel before putting it away last season and it actually worked as promised no rust and theres always some surface rust.i suggest everyone get a pack of those cards for your BP guns

I figured I would throw out an update for those maybe thinking about buying a buckstalker. I have had mine for a couple weeks now and put some rounds through it.

First thing I did was invest $30 in a limbsaver slip on ( medium fits great ), a good sling and a traditions scope I got for christmas. It has a smooth trigger pull, I would be lying if I tried to guess the pull weight but it is light in my opinion, not too light but you can be smooth and fluid without having to worry about jerk. With a sling it is easy getting through thick woods with it. Very easy and quick to disassemble. All in all so far an excellent buy. I would highly reccomend it for someone that wants a 24" breakover.
