Muzzleloader Info
I'm new to this muzzleloader thing (like many), and have been doing my research on which gun to buy. I've been jumping from a T/C Omega, Knight Wolverine or Revolution, CVA Optima Pro, etc., etc. In a normal year in Illinois, at most there are only seven days you have to use a muzzleloader (four days for 2nd shotgun season and a three day muzzleloader season). I don't mind spending the extra money on a T/C or Knight, but is it really going to make a difference if I buy a CVA or another less expensive brand? Many of you are experts in the field and if there is a significant difference in manufacturers, I would appreciate the feedback. The guy that runs the local proshop all but tried talking me out of spending the extra money on an Omega. Claimed the CVA Optima Pro was easier to clean and provided the same accuracy as a Knight or T/C. I've known him for years and I know he's looking after my best interest (and wallet), but wanted to get your opinion.
Thanks!
