Muzzleloader Recommendation-Elk Gun

[PLhunter]

Last I checked the woodman patriot is only offered with 209 breech which is not legal in Idaho or Oregon. My cheap traditions pursuit does well enough but man it’s tough to keep rust off of. But with open sights I’m 2-3 inches at 100 and minute of elk to 185. Took a 6 point bull at 130 and a whitetail buck at 125 this season.

Here’s the thing you gotta realize, we’re on a very selective forums.. You are in a niche community within a niche community.
The information gained within the recorded pages of this website is invaluable and the collective minds information in here would be some of the most informative anywhere on the world wide interwebs. There is a lot of individuality to sports such as hunting and target shooting, firearms building. It’s not often a team sport . It’s like wrestling vs football. With that, you will have a lot of individual opinions on the micro side of things and you have to learn to weed through it.

An out of the box cva wolf would probably be looked down upon and maybe used as a boat paddle if a self rescue situation arose,,,,,maybe. Probably better as an anchor for those who spend hours a week on the range researching loads, competing, shooting only a muzzleloader through the entirety of their season. It would be worthless to someone who would rather pick up their ml bs their high end bolt action during rifle season.
That’s not the person cva is targeting anyhow. At some point it’s like the guy w the f350 platinum laughing at the guy next to him running a beat up f150 inline 6 pulling a loaded landscaping trailer. Hey budddy, it’s getting the job done.

Find out what your true intentions are, are you aiming to be that aficionado, walk that trail of frustration and patience to build out loads, shoot weekly for fun and to improve as a self competition. If so, the cva would not ve for you.

If your trying to find a decent priced ml to throw over your shoulder and hunt game a couple times a year, cva or the likes is where it’s at.

As for weight, that wolf is awful light compared to others I have. But then again, I don’t worry too much about that stuff.

209 or LRMP module plug. Correct - no percussion cap option (currently…).
