For scoped muzzy, I much prefer the optima v2 because the stock fits me so well.

I havent messed with the LR yet. I figured the 27" barrel was more than enough LOL. Either will do the job perfectly in the right hands.

Only when you're leading a running deer, and smack the barrel on a tree.

My person favorite is the CVA Optima with thumbhole stock.

Another great muzzy is the Traditions Strikerfire. Every year my brother in law gets lucky and his deer keep getting bigger!

Hi all,

I'm considering using a Muzzleloader next year during our state's shotgun deer season. We have a couple new blinds that could possibly require shots out to 150 - 175 Yds and i don't think my shotgun is up to it. I would also like to use the ML for a mule deer hunt out west. And it's time for a new toy. :)

interested in what people have to say about the new crop of ML's out there now. I had a Traditions inline years ago, but it looks like things have changed quite a but since then.

Interested in your feedback.

Thanks
