i was wondering about the new electra.it is primerless.has anyone shot this gun or owns this gun.i would love to know how it shoots.im sure in cold weather i would finally get the perfect shot and the battery would go dead.if anyone has an opinion on this gun i would like to hear it. thank you.

My opinion follows: An invention looking for a need.

I'd love to try one out. As for the battery going dead, They tell u how long it will last with the switch left on.

Like Frontier Gander, I would love to play with one on the range for the day, but I have no desire to purchase one. I think it will be one of those rifles that just never make it. Of course, they said that about the inline rifle back in the late eighties.

i guess it'll sell to some people who are curious. personally i find the thought of it ridiculous.

bad enough dealing with the gunsmiths at cva now you gotta deal with their electricians

I will stick with those fancy new things called primers. If you watch their promo, they make it sound so bad having to clean the breech plug

Not having to clean the breech plug is always a plus. TC made a fuss over having to unscrew it.

I've always figured simple and reliable were closely related. Somehow I get the feeling this design might have potential for problems.

good thread. I was looking at that one as well.
I've never shot a BP gun, just getting the urge to try it though.
