Hey guys I need recommendations on a new gun??

But first I would like to vent if I may.

I never get out much at the end of the season during muzzleloader so I have never taken a deer with Black powder....

I have a CVA Firebolt or something (its an inline from 2003).

Anyway yesterday I was tracking deer in the snow and didnt see anything until about 5 miles later and at 4:00 a doe jumped up but had no idea and wasnt really frightened. I dipped my primos can and walked up another 10 feet and noticed she hadnt taken off and I could see her in the pines...She trotted out of the pines into the open at 45 yards and I grunted to stop her BROADSIDE 45 YARDS looking the other way! I cranked the scope up and settled right behind her shoulder....CLICK! The gun didnt go off!!!! I fumbled to get another primer in and she took off. I was so bummed. I got another primer in and the gun fired. What happend I guess was the primer froze or got iced. I had slipped and fell in the snow with the gun earlier....

Any recommendations on a VERY Reliable gun where the primer is not exposed to the elements????

Anyone want to buy a CVA?

Thanks for letting me vent! and thank you for any recs

Jim
