Here are some of the most informative comments from the post.
Johnny W - “The only inline I have ever shot is a Knight. I have no complaints about it.”
Nathan S “I have used a CVA Optima and a T/C Impact. The CVA is amazing. The TC, not so much.”
Nate B “I just got the CVA Accura V2 LR and it is awesome comes cerakoted with a 30 inch Bergara barrel”
Rob H “I have both the T/C Strike and Triumph as well as an Omega, I’d look for a lightly used Omega. It was T/C’s best inline in my opinion. “
TC B “a used omega can be had for a couple hundred bucks, wish they still produced them. I own 3 of them and they all shoot whatever I feed them very well “
Joe M “CVA Wolf is best bang for your buck. Often under $200 now, pre-drilled and tapped for common scope mounts. Quick Release Breech Plug, flawless bores/rifling, very accurate once you’ve worked up your load. They’re just a lot of value and very affordable. Only available in .50 caliber “
James S “Knight bighorn with upgraded globe sights”
Randall F “TC impact, Any TC, But most will shoot well”
Cary P “Cva accura is good rifle but it dont compare to my old knight 45 disc elite”
Kyle K “I bought a Traditions Pursuit ultralight G4 from Cabelas, not sure if I love it yet or not but I know I will be upgrading the iron sights on it. It was on the cheaper side at 329$ and I’m still learning what powder and bullets it likes. Something I didn’t think about is that it isn’t legal for muzzleloader seasons in Idaho as it uses the 209 primers and the breach isn’t open to the elements. If I had to do it again I would get one legal in all the typical elk states. “
Jeffrey F “Any CVA is fantastic, I love my Accura V2… I got it in stanless and black. 1” Groups @100 yards with a 300 grn powderbelts and two White hots
