Idk if you would call it a rockslide special, but it’s my VA blue ridge mountains special. Cva Optima v2, barrel chopped to 20”, Trijicon Huron, and sling qd mounts installed so I can run it front slung with my blue force gear vickers sling. Shooting 250gn Barnes tmz with 70gn by weight blackhorn 209 at about 1780fps

I picked up a knight long range hunter 50 the other day for $350. Converted it to bare primers and added a rear peep. Tinkering with load dev and data now but its definitely "good enough" for a 100 yard gun currently with iron sights.

CVA Optima with Williams Western Precision peep sights. I bonded mine to the gun as well so they can't come loose. you will be able to shoot as far as your eyes let you. Some people mentioned Blackhorn as well but I don't really feel it's necessary given the price they charge for it. Triple 7 get's it done great.

As other have said, I like the Optima because I want the ramrod on the gun.

If I was wanting a better production muzzleloader I’d wait until 2025. I feel like with T/C re entering the market and a paramount update coming in 2025 that it could be a much better consumer market in less than a year.

This is prime.

I'm looking at adding 2 point slings to mine for easy carry and quick to deploy.

You chop the barrel yourself or get it done? That is a badass package!
