getting started with black powder firearms

[Mulliganpaintdee]

the Bass Pro Shop here in Ft. Lauderdale has some pretty sweet deals on BP rifles. I was just in South Carolina actually and my traditions nipple broke so I had to order some new ones but they wouldnt arrive in time for the hunt so I had my wife stop over at the BPS before she joined us up in S.C. and she bought me a new CVA Wolf Muzzle Loader for $150. Its a great shooting gun, uses the 209 primers and a break-down stock. Put my scope on her and she is now my primary hunting muzzleloader.

I don't know about the Wolf model in particular but By God I can speak highly for CVA in general, and I would be willing to bet the Wolf you have is a dependable straight shooter...Okay...

Actually, yes the wolf is a great gun so far. Shoots straight as an arrow and is super easy to clean, which is a definate plus for me

I bought my first cap and ball revolver when I was 16 gun laws were more relaxed 44 years ago. There was no one around at the time to give me any advice only the Dixie Gunworks catalog. So what I am saying is make a decision based on what you think is neat and temper it with the information that you've gotten on this forum. Probably your first muzzleloader or cap and ball revolver won't be your last. Read the stickie at the top of this forum it is a great primer and stick with us and visit us often.
Actually that stainless Uberti Remington for $275 sounds great to me.
