Opinion - Best Off the Shelf Muzzleloader?

[Steiny77]

I've been shooting a TC Contender .45cal scoped muzzy for several years now and have killed quite a few animals with it but have never been too impressed with the accuracy at 100 yards, so haven't pushed it any further.
I like the simplicity of 12ga primers, pellets and saboted bullets and would stick with that type of set up. No interest in the smokeless muzzys.

This thing will wear a scope and I want something with an easy to remove breach plug for cleaning and stainless finish. Probably will step up to .50 caliber.

What suggestions are there for something that can reliably reach out to 150-200 yards?

Accuras are hard to beat.

CVA’s are hard to beat.

We’ve bought 3 CVAs over the last year, 2 optima’s and a wolf. All have shot well and are so much easier to clean than the older inlines. I’d love to play with one of the smokeless ones, it’s just not worth it here.

Woodman Arms out of New Hampshire. Patriot model. Ridiculous accuracy, clean it once per year, .50 or .45, developed for tracking hunters - so a joy to carry.

The CVA's are really hard to beat for the money. That Wolf V2 is a heck of a value for the $.
