Too Late....Accura
 

:nonono2::nonono2:So I research which Muzzleloader I want for the last couple weeks, Go to gun stores, try to look and hold em all and see which one is for me....I figure bout the ACCURA is for me , find the best deal out there at Sportsmans Guide , $270 w/o a scope go to order it today and theyre all out of stock....Im sooo pissed at myself for taking too long to make up my mind...I: actually started to order it last night , but had to leave the computer and said I'd do it tomorrow.......anybody know of a decent price on one out there....I know the V2s go for more than that.....I really want the thumbhole stock and ss barrel.....

Try Finn Feather and Fur Outfitters. They are located in Ohio as well.

If you liked the V1 Accura, try out the 2010 Optima. IMO it feels better. I dont care about the QRBP but the gun shoulders extremely nice and is in a similar price range.

IMO it is priced very fairly and overall quality isnt bad at all. Its much better than the older Optima IMO.

My son bought one got it last Friday from sportsman guide man they were a smoking deal with out the scope 269.00
I was going to maybe order one for my self but that ends that.He gave me his optima pro 29" berger barrel stainless over camo
great gun it really tack drive bullet :the only draw back is the overall weight 8.8 lbs with out the scope has to be a 9lbs gun no matter how you look at it.
I like the optima because the extra weigh allows me to up grade the powder chge near 100 grains of triple 777
My t/c thunderhawk weigh only 6 1/2lbs and I only use 85 grain only because such a light gun really pack a punch on recoil.

Here are 5 thumbhole stainless. Perhaps they are too much dollar.

I was asking the same questions several months ago and after a great deal of online research I decided on the CVA Accura. It got universally stellar reviews and really did seem like the 'most bang for the buck'. So I went ahead and bought one.

It arrived and looked to be extremely well made. It balanced beautifully and had a great trigger and fiber optic sights. It even came with a scope mount and sling.

Then before I could shoot it, I got infected by a desire to make a traditional flintlock Pennsylvania longrifle, and that desire has overwhelmed my need or desire for an inline muzzleloader.

So.. I am selling my Accura! If you are interested let me know. My email is [email protected].

i found that on a forum, not sure which model it is though.

The 2010 Optima looks like a good one. You really missed out when Cabela's was selling the last reamining ACCURA's. I think at one time they had em for $249 and if you had a Cabela's Bucks Cupon you'd get another $20 off and they also had FREE Shipping.
Do some seaching on the Internet, Im sure there's still a few out there.
Good Luck!

Go on to CVA's website and check out the bargain tab. I got a awesome deal on my Kodiak.

Thanks everyone ! Fin fur and feathers in Ohio is too high for me...3rd generation has the new V2 thole black, ss barrel for for $340 , thats better than what I can do locally for $385. The optima seems too long and too heavy especially if you re carrying it all day. It would seem better to be a stand gun for hunting. I dont mind paying a bit more for the V2 but that older Accura at $270 was a deal....Cva website is out of stock on what I want....gonna try to get one and set it up for Ohio season in Jan uary.......Thanks everyone !!

buckeye guy, Myself, i think the Accura at third generation is the pre 2010 model. I haven't communicated with them, but i see no mention of V2 on the website.

I have to agree with Ron, the $340 price for the V2 Thumb Hole Stock SS is too cheap, it's a new model and the older ACCURA TH SS sold for more than that. Im sure it's the Original ACCURA.

Ron Laughlin....whats the difference between the V2 and the other pre 2010??? I just ordered one from them.......Maybe I can cancel it before they ship it....I thought I was geetin the V2 ..........Crap !!

YOU GUYS ARE RIGHT..........It was the older model with black and some white in the stock......not the V2 model...I called and cancelled the order.....I can get the new V2 for 40 bucks more locally......a shop will order it plus 10 percent 383 bucks Man, I shoulda called first....Still pissed about the Sportsman guide gun for $270 !!!!!

Ron Laughlin....You are right, 3rd generation Accura is the older gun not the V2, I cancelled my order...For 40 bucks more I can get a new Accura V2 locally here at a gun shop...His price plus 10 percent $383 Gonna go order it today or Monday.....Thanks !

V2 has the QRBP, adjustable trigger, soft touch finish, rubber grip panels "you should like those" Some other small changes here and there.

I dont think you would have been too terribly dissapointed with the (First Generation ACCURA) For the Money it's still a good deal. The V2 Has a Rubber Grip on the Stock, not a big deal, but I found that Rubber on a Stock Does'nt Mix when you have Snow or Rain, the Rubber can cause a (Squeak) against your Gloves or Clothes, just My Opinion, and that could cause you a Good Buck or any Deer for that matter.
The V2 has a QRBP (quick release breech plug) that's nice, but for me I have never needed to get the Breech Plug out fast, the normal tool to remove it get's it out just fine, Im in no Hurry.
The QRBP may help to reduce Blow Back, but the Blow Back from the Original ACCURA is Minimal. Also as some have stated the V2's QRBP has problems with igniting BH 209, so if you pan to use that then it may cause you grief.
So all in all the new V2 and it's Improvements dont add up to all that much vs the Original ACCURA, I decided Not to get one, Im Happy with the 3 ACCURA's I now have.
These are just My Opinions and I figured I'd throw in My 2 Cents.
So If I had to do it all over again and I had a chance to get the First ACCURA or the ACCURA V2, I'd still get the Original.
Good Luck and let us know how you like the V2.

Sorry, forgot to mention the (Adjustable Trigger) on the V2. I dont have a V2 so I cant say one way or the other how (adjustable) it is or how smooth or gritty. But I can say the Trigger on the Original ACCURA is SMOOTH, Crisp and Clean.
