Looking into expanding my season. Curious what muzzleloader does everyone run? So many different variations of muzzle loaders. Will be used for western states and ca only.

CVA has a great line that will fit your budget. I'd bet you will be more limited by the sights than by the gun so I would make sure you have some coin to invest there.

My good friend owns one of the biggest muzzleloaders stores in the country. He also owns Thor Bullets which are CA legal.
He talked me into the CVA optima with Glove sites. It’s a great gun. I use two White Hot Pellets and a thor bullet super simple.

Thanks. Hows the kick on .50 CAL? Also, does this take loose powder?

Thanks Drew,

Just ordered a new sight for my Optima. I’m planning on a Colorado rut muzzleloader hunt this Sept.
 
yeah, have to buy a 10000 + hasmat fee +$$$$$$$$$. I don't plan on shooting that many rounds, I just want to be able to shoot my new rifle. Anyone want to go in on a 1000 or more primers?:rolleyes:
I can't be the only one having this issue.
 
Sounds like you've already jumped, but I'll throw in anyway. Check the regs for where you want to hunt. Some states do not allow in-lines. Some states do not allow scopes. Some states do not allow sabots. It can get tricky figuring it all out.

I have a couple muzzleloaders. 40 and 45 accurate to @5-600 depending on the wind. I shoot a 275g bullet @2750fps
 
Many. States .and many more( in the making)....will not allow Scopes....keep that in mind...aim high at 100 plus dude... I think?? Smoke poles are cool for a reason.
