I suppose it has been mentioned here before...What are the
reports on this rifle as far as accuracy and or quality of it..
Are they dependable as well? I have seen my step son looking
at them in a catalog..I am thinking he might like one of them..
He does a lot of work around here and deserves one...or maybe
another make...Johnny

From all I have READ on them, those that bought them are very happy with their accuracy and function. I have a CVA and it is a good shooting inline rifle. Also many times the price is very good on the Wolf rifles..

Keep it clean and i mean right after shooting and you will have a fun gun for shooting under 100 yards. Just don't push the bullets too hard, around 85 - 90 grains T7 loose or 2 50 grain pellets.

A couple years back a friend of mine asked me to help her son figure out how to safely shoot a muzzleloader she bought him. So I agreed of course. It turned out she bought him a Beartooth Magnum which is made by New Frontier, a.k.a. BPI, the same people that make CVA. Well it was nothing more then a Wolf in Beartooth clothing. She had bought him some Triple Se7en powder and Winchester primers, and some 245 grain powerbelts and some 240 grain XTP's on my suggestion.

We discovered right out of the box, 80 grains of Triple Se7en 2f and a 240 grain XTP was shooting perfect. At 25 yards the boy shot a very impressive group. We then tried the powerbelts with the same charge, and that rifle stacked them. At fifty years it shot a more then acceptable group, and since that is about as far as you can see in the thickets up here, he was happy.. and out of powerbelts I might add.

That season he said a doe walked out at 30 yards, he aimed behind the front shoulder, fired, and she never took a step...

I bought one a little over a year ago just to see if muzzleloading was for me. I took two Illinois deer with it last fall and found it to be a very accurate low cost MZ. I put a Nikon Pro Staff scope on it, loaded up with a 250 or 300gr Barnes Expander with Crush Rib sabots, 2 Pyrodex pellets, and Remington Kleen Bore primers, my Wolf is a shooter. I've also shot loose Pyrodex RS 80-100grwith Powerbelts, Sabertooths, and XTP's and all shot well.
