Electra's where did they go?
I was just reading some articles and saw the word Electra. Hadn't heard anything about them in the past 2 yrs or so. Did they not catch on?
I have never seen one in person or heard of anyone shooting them.

I was looking at one while at Gander Mountain the other day. They still wanted over $350 for it. That camo they used was really ugly, but the rifle had good balance and nice fiber optic sights if you are into fiber optic sights.

I know there was some heat bought onto it for being carried unloaded. You would have to remove the battery to keep a charge in it and be legal when transporting it.
Like I mentioned it was something that caught my eye while reading as I haven't heard or seen anything about it in 2 yrs. I just figured it had faded out from not being accepted in the ML world.
(I can't say anything bad about fiber optics, got a small piece I inserted into my hawkens front sight to help me in low light situations) I hate getting old sometimes.

Even though I only hunt with flintlock rifles, I have seen some well made inlines that are used by some of my friends. The big problem that I have had with the CVA Electra is the fact that unless you remove the battery before loading it you are essently loading a primed rifle. Now, I know the rifle has a safety but safetys can fail.
Maybe I'm wrong but would any of you out there in muzzleloader land prime your rifle before loading the barrel with any other muzzleloader? I sure wouldn't.

The Electra just had to many things that wer'nt great about it. How would you like to be zeroed in on a Big Buck and when you pulled the trigger your batteries were dead, plus COLD Weather and battery life dont mix, I'll stay with the 209 Primers, there not 100% but close enough!

Never thought about that. I know my hands means alot to me, and it would really ruin your day to be loading the gun and driving the sabot home when the electronics or safety accidently decide to fail.
Really good point.
I know when I load my .44 pistol I am super careful putting on the no. 11 caps onto each nipple.
