This should be interesting to follow. Im not sure exactly what he bought? Maybe just the name? Maybe the rights to some of the T/C guns? Sidelocks are pretty dead, the Encore might have life? Trying to compete with imports in the under $500 muzzleloader market is probably a losing proposition ..read more

My muzzleloader, a CVA Accura MR-X, has been a tad long for me, especially during hunting season when I have thicker clothes on. When I pull up the heel catches under my arm sometimes, so that I have to think about throwing it forward, which isn't helpful. I can miss plenty easily without having more to think about!

Hello, I'm new to the forum, this is my first post! I'm looking for recommendations on what to purchase for my first muzzleloader. I would like something lightweight as I plan to use it for still hunting and tracking in the mountains. I'm not sure how much to spend. I am a believer in buy once, cry once but I also know I'll realistically only use it maybe 5-7 days per year. Some other info that may or may not help, I'm a lefty and I live in VT. Any suggestions would be appreciated. Thanks ..read more
