Over the summer i plan on getting a CVA Wolf 209 in .50cal and i was wondering what everyone thought about this muzzleloader. Thanks for all input. I will put a scope on it also, Not sure what kind yet. Input on what kind of scope i should get would be highly appreciated.

My dad has one, so far he has been shooting 100 grains of triple 7 powder, and 245 grain powerbelt hollow points. He dont have scope but he plan s to get one.. Good shooting lil gun though..

I just got one at Christmas time, kinda a present to myself. I'm still waiting for the weather to get better. I have no problem admitting I'm a wuss when it come to the cold weather. I'll have all spring and summer to shoot it before next deer season. I topped my Wolf off with a Bushnell Sportview shot gun scope 1.5-4.5x32. Got 245 grain Power Belt bullets, some loose and 50gr. pellet Pyrodex to try out. It'll get nice one of these days.

Sjsfire, Let me know how it shoots when you get the chance to shoot it. Im excited about getting one. How much did that scope cost? Thanks

I can't remember maybe $60-$80 dollars. I bought a Nikon Prostaff 2x7x32 to put on my Wolf but I liked it so much I put it on my 1187 slug gun. The Nikon was $125 plus tax.

Hey there Savage arms I have one and it shoots very well it is a good gun to start with if you daont have the money for a more expensive one. I t will kill deer dead just as well as any MZldr. I shot a nice 10 point last year at about 75 yrds and he went down where he was standing. When target practicine i get good groups at 100 and really havent spent much time sighting it in. I am using 777 pellets two of them and 245 grain powerbelts with cci primers and have never had a problem with this combo.

I have a wolf and i finally got it grouping the way i want it to w/ 85gr. of 777 powder and a 270 grain powerbelt platnum. at 50-75 yrds i am shooting softball size groups with open sights.

Well, I hope I can do better than that with mine. Did you mess with the different power volumes and different bullet sizes much at all?

I just bought a CVA in line a few months ago and love it. I originally did not purchase a scope, but decided I needed one. The Bushnell scope that CVA sells with its rifles retails for $70, but I was able to purchase one unopened on Ebay for $40 including shipping.

I love Ebay sometimes.

This is actually Savage Arms on my other account..... I was wondering how Pyrodex pellets was a good "powder" to use in these ml's. Also i was wondering how quickely this gun will put a deer on the ground after the shot? I kinda like to track them a lil bit.
