LOL! i know what you're saying. CVA sent me a staghorn .50 as an replacement for my cva blazer that i broke and they sent me that due to the cva blazer no longer in production. That was a fun shooting rifle. I only shot it around 20 times for fun but sold it when my new winchester came in. No need for 2 inlines, plus the winchester was easier to take down. I just thought the comment about NEF kicking any cva's butt was a little out of line. Not all rifles of the same brand and caliber will shoot the same. As for powder, Ive only used pyrodex since the first day i started muzzleloading. I used to LOVE my inline but now that i bought a flintlock, theres nothing sweeter than seeing that huge flash and the crack of the rifle going off and seeing a buck flip straight onto his back, dead. Im hooked on flintlocks!
