need advice for very good muzzleloader

[johnnyf]

Hello folks,

I'm new here. I've been hunting for years (rifle & archery) but am planning on buying a muzzleloader later this year.

Who is making the absolutely best muzzleloaders? Quality, reliability, accuracy, optics, etc.?

Thanks for any help,

John

thats like asking what color is prettier, red blue or green.

i have a t/c renegade in 54 i've had for years never a lick of problem. i have a old cva inline that i dislike very much but i understand cva is better now. i shoot a savage inline when i do use a front stuffer. i like the savage the most because its the only ml that you can use smokeless powder in making it way faster and flatter shooting than black powder guns.

so to be more direct. my choice would be a savage but you can't really go wrong with a t/c.

welcome to the club

I don't know anything about Savage ML's so I can't comment on those. I do have several TC's and can attest to their excellent quality. I just purchased a Knight based upon their track record, and like ronn I rate the old CVA rifles very low. Traditions make reliable muzzleloaders and most likely the new CVA's are fine. I highly rate TC rifles as near the top!

I've heard good things about the T/C muzzloaders. I can remember a tv commercial a couple of years ago showing some sort of T/C muzzleloader with a bullet compensation/drop scope. It was based upon a "propriety" bullet weight/load that was very accurate with the optics system. I want to say it was their Encore model w/ a Nikon scope but I'm not sure. Can anyone help me out with this one?

i own the entire 2010 line up from CVA and they are excellent rifles.

They shoot both full bore projectiles and sabots extremely well. Smooth crisp triggers, light weight and most importantly Accurate.

Dpms firearms, panther arms, dpms panther arms, dpms, dpms firearms, dpms guns has the new cva optima for $225 and some change and the blue black Wolf for only $167. We have 2 of the new wolfs and 1 to 1 1/2" groups @ 100 yards are normal.

Cabelas has a great deal on the CVA Accura for $200 with blue barrel and black stock. The Accura easily has the best trigger on the CVA Line up. Mine is around 2lbs with no grit or creep.

TC is now owned by S&W (Smith & Wesson)
I wonder if that means at one point TC was failing and S&W stepped in to recover the company?
S&W never manufactured muzzleloaders, I think these are important things to consider when thinking about purchasing a TC muzzleloader.

TC Encore system is pretty hard to beat for top end equipment. The one great advantage TC has is that you can have the same trigger pull for your muzzleloader,rifle,slug gun or pistol. anywhere from 2.5 lbs and up

Plus it gives you multiple excuses to get new barrels and stocks

if you never ever have to shoot conicals, tc would be fine.
