RE: you've got a $1000..what gun would you buy?
Well I did just that, spent a $1000.....My first choice I bought a CVA ACCURA Stainless/Black Fiber-Grip Stock and a set a Dura-Sight Z2 Alloy see-thru mounts, then purchased a Leupold Ultimate Slam Mzzleloader Scope with the (SABR) reticle, total cost from Cabela's after Cabela's rebate's $645.74.....then I liked the ACCURA so much I took the rest of the money and bought another one, this one in SS/Camo....2 ML's, one fully equipped and another one to boot! Money well spent!
