The Wolf is a fine starter gun its what I have and I like it. You can pick them up brand new for $140 at Wallmart I have even seen them in complete starter kits for under $200, there are a few other brands that offer complete starter kits in that price range as well and if you are willing to spend a little more you can get your self a nicer one. If you have a local sport shop I would recomend you go handle and feal the different brands and models find the one that fits you the best then go looking for the best price on that model. Being new to muzzleloading I'm sure some other guys here on this forum will tell you not to go with a CVA, all I can say to that is, I am happy with mine.
Good luck to you what ever route you take
