    It's almost as light as your $900 wonder too.
    I have said this before but just for you what doesn't shoot MOA anymore and that should not be the way you value a rifle.

    It's one thing you should look at for a hunting rifle. If the gun also has a good price, is dependable, and has a good trigger. Then you have to look at the price.

    For someone who isn't that serious about muzzleloaders, and just wants to hunt an extra season. The Wolf isn't a bad choice.

    I'd prefer a Hawken, but that's me.

    Dang it!!! Muley you actually said some thing I agree with... But, I guess Sharpshooter related to it first with "mr. average joe!"

    For the "average joe" the Wolf might be a great starter when looking at price... same for me when I started with a Hunter Bolt then a Fire Bolt... but the illusion faded fast.

    Oh! Renegades are better than Hawkins

    I mean the real Hawkens. At my age, and with a bad back. If someone gave me a real 12lb Hawken to hunt with. I'd go for it, and be smiling the whole time.

    I love than gun!

    Guess I might have stirred this up a bit.

    But, if I can get it to shoot BH every time and effectively you can never say anything about a CVA on this forum again!

    How 'bout that for a deal...

    No matter, what you might do as an administrator is send him someplace he can get help...

    I would love to know the details...
    Speaking of stirring things up a bit.............was this a bet?? My money is on SL!!!!!!!

    Not a reasonable bet. Unless SL had the same deal with Knight that Jon has with CVA.

    Some DISCs had a "CrossFire" breach plug which was intended to be used with pellets. Results with loose powders was marginal and IIRC they did offer another plug design which resolved issues with other loose subs.
