revpilot,
You got the message! These guns not only shoot but they shoot verrrry well! I'm new (2 years) to the muzzleloading world, but I know good when I see good!!! I have read on this blog where some folks really can't appreciate the CVA workmanship. It always goes back to the barrels that were blowing up. Now I can understand the fear some folks may have especially if they know a person who was injured, however, I can't speak to those days as I have a modern CVA that loves to kill deer. When I tell folks to buy an Accura V1 which is every bit the rifle any other top notch rifle is at half the price, I really mean it! There was no brand loyalty when I bought my CVA Accura V1, but there is now!!!!!
