It is a CVA Wolf with a 24" barrel. Information I've found seems to indicate a 1:28 twist rate. Virginia permits muzzleloaders with scopes. Just double checked that. Hadn't occurred to me to check that, so thank you.

I was on the wobble stand one field before yours and saw them talking about that. Small world. They should have been more concerned with the new shooters on the stand I was at that didn't seem to be able to remember to open action and thought eye and ear protection were things for other people.

I've recently gotten into hunting. I'm generally a pistol/shotgun shooter, so the world of optics is a bit foreign to me. Knowing that there is a short muzzleloading season in Virginia, I purchased a CVA Wolf and put my Nikon Prostaff Shotgun 2-7x32 scope on it. All that said, I have a few...

I've recently gotten into hunting. That said, I'm going to obtain my own gear for this purpose. I'm generally a pistol/shotgun shooter, so the world of optics is a bit foreign to me. I'm going to be waiting for the right rifle at the right price. My list and options include a savage axis...

You really can't see the point you just made, can you? The irony in your entire post is awesome. God, I hope it was intentional. No, no I don't. I hope it is unintentional. That makes it even funnier.

This topic pops up from time to time. You get a number of people who think that if you tell someone, "no, you shouldn't own a gun," then you are violating his rights. This isn't true anymore than telling someone to "shut up" is a violation of their rights. I've told several people they should...

Odd, I rely upon not pulling the trigger when I don't want the gun to fire. Have you tried that?

Ok, without getting into all the different methods of carry, sizes of guns, concealability of various size frames and so on, here's what I think and why I think it: 1. Strong side: Fast draw. Not difficult to conceal. Can be worn with most common clothing. 2. Inside the waistband for...

I've previously posted about appropriate clothing for deer hunting and got excellent and informative responses. I'm now beginning to contemplate what exactly I should be seeking for a deer gun of my own. I'm seeking input based on several guiding points and questions: 1. A friend, who will...

Being a polymer semiauto with a funky trigger does not essentially make a gun a glock anymore so than saying since you bought a car with four wheels, a spoiler, and no air conditioning means you have a Formula 1 car.

A good belt's importance cannot be overstated here. It distributes weight much much better and helps prevent lean and belt sag. If you think you have a good belt, you don't. If you bought a belt specifically for carrying, you might have a good belt. A friend has been carrying a P229 in a...

Dude, you posted the story, not us. I'll say the same thing about jokes with guns that I too often have to say to chuckleheads playing with knives: I've never seen a joke with a gun that ended well. At best, they end with a mild chuckle.

Greetings. This is my first foray into the hunting forums. I recently went on my first hunt. Took three pheasants on five opportunities and it altered my perspective on hunting substantially. Going from consumer to a predator is a ponderous event. I fully intend to do that again and I'll be...

This thread makes me sad. Not because of the topic or the content but because so much of the spelling and grammar is so lazy as to be near offensive.

If you didn't get it done with 5 rounds of .357, I bet you'd wish you had a 6th round of anything instead of an obscure philosophy about sufficiency of 5 rounds.
