Killed a huge iowa 9 pt in 2014 at 130 yds and IL 8 pt with it this year point blank. I really like it now for sure, the breech plug can be a pain.

You should always keep one or two extra breech plugs handy. I buy them on-line and they always come with the wrench to install and pull out the breech plug. Its a good idea to use the CVA Accura breech plug wrench each time you put it in. If it not snug the hammer sticks which is bad when its crunch time.

Ive replace a few breech plugs for various reasons the past three years.

Be sure to keep the firing pin lubricated. It can get corroed Its seized up in Iowa once on me
so use the wrench even after you install the first time ? they say you don't need to ?
