I'm attracted to a Savage muzzleloader - I've owned to savages (110E and 111f) and got a chance to squeeze off an Accu-trigger and thought it was great.

Looks to me though, that getting a Savage ML only buys you another fifty yards and easier cleanup, over a humble CVA. A friend of mine who I took shooting asked me, the other day, what spending an extra 200 over the cost of a $100 CVA Staghorn/buckhorn would get him, and.. I didn't have a ready answer.

What does one gain, by getting an expensive muzzleloader? Ability to use stouter loads? Are Savages/Knights/Whites substantially more accurate than, say, a CVA inline?
