CVA Wolf Break Action

Any word on these muzzle loaders? I see they have a hammer, and are supposed to be quite easy to clean. The price looks nice as well. Looking at the camo model.

my brother has the black one and loves it. first time out using it last year he put a doe down at about 120 yards. nice gun and cheap price.

I HAD A CVA KODIAK PRO,MY BROTHER-IN-LAW HAD THE WOLF,BOTH WERE CRAP.I BOUGHT A T/C OMEGA AND SWEAR BY IT . BROTHER-IN -LAW IS BUYING HIS T/C OMEGA NEXT WEEK.HAVEN’T SEEN A MUZZLELOADER YET THAT WILL RUN WITH A T/C. JUST MY .02

I have the black one. I get out 4 or 5 times during muzzleloader season so this gun is perfect for me. It is easy to clean and fool proof. I have no complaints.Its dead on at 50 yards with iron sights.

I am not trying to compare it to a TC. I realize they are the real deal. But I am just getting into ML hunting, and may give this to one of my kids as I upgrade. When you say “Crap” can you give me some “For Instances” so I may know what to watch out for or avoid?
Thanks!

Chris I can not speak about the CVA as I have not shot one, I have heard both good and bad about them. I have the TC Omega with the Blue/Black barrel, if I had it to do over again I would have spent the extra $$$ and went with the stainless barrel.

Next year I am thinking about taking the plung and going with the new TC Encore Endeavor

I have the black one. It is a great gun. It obviously isn’t going to compare to any T/C gun, however the price was right and the wallet was tight. Make sure you get one with metal sights as the plastic ones have a tendency to get nocked off. They are easy to clean and are accurate at over 100 yards. In all great gun, easy to figure out and lots of fun.

I put one in the hands of my 15yr old daughter. It’s a cheaper gun, but not some crap that would be dangerous. It’s a good gun for the money, and does the job. Great starter gun that could be handed down.

Compared to a T/C it is crap. The T/C is a high quality gun. Then again a marlin, or winchester are also crap compared to a Weatherby. Still how many winchester 30/30’s are bought every year. Used year after year then handed down to begining hunter. CVA makes a good gun that the average working man can afford. Blackpowder is not cheap compared to standard rifle hunting. All the extras sure add up!! A lot like bow hunting. Then in that case a Bear bow is also crap compared to a Mathews. Still how many of you started hunting with a Bear bow, or a Winchester model 94 30/30!!! My wife still hunts with and loves her Model 94!

So I say go for it. You will like it, and will know more about the sport for your next upgrade.

JMO!!!

Chris I know I told you to go with a stainless barrel however, after a little shopping around the web I see that the Thompson Center Omega Z5 Rifle – Blue/Black is on sale for $309.99. Now subtract the $50 rebate TC is offering right now and you are down to $259.99. If I have the right one that you are looking at the CVA Wolf™ 209 Magnum Rifle – Blue/Camo is going for $189.99, for $70 more you could get the Omega.

Steve- That is a good price for the low end T/C. Still the price for the CVA Wolf with the black synthetic stock is 149.99 for camo it’s 189.99 at least at cabelas. For the $40 I will go black!

Steve

Yup I would go with black aslo that is what my TC is, I quoted the camo one because that is the one Chris said he was looking at.

Lots of good info guys! Thanks!
I will set up camp at Cabela’s tomorrow and let you all know what I do. I got permission on some really good land a spitwads shot from my house today for the ML season.

IMHO I would spend a little more and buy the Optima. Great gun for the price and very accurate and easy to clean!

Merry Xmas to ME!!!

Cabela’s should also be coming out with the promo where you spend x number of dollars and get x number of dollars off for club members. Max I belive spend $500 get $150 off, so on a $850 TC Encore Endeavor – $150 – $50 rebate = $650.

Check with them when you walk in about spending deals as well. Seems everytime I get there they are always offering 20-50 off for spending something. I get a lot of the spend 150 get 20 off from.

Good luck, and Merry XMAS

So Chris did you pick up a ML yet and if so which one did you go with?

TC Omega Z5, Trip-7 pellets, 270 gr. Platinum Powerbelts.

Ritter and I are gonna throw some into the wind this afternoon.

You will love that gun, wish I was ready to upgrade to the Pro Hunter I would have sold you my Z5 at a good price

Chris did you get the rebate on the TC? How long is the rebate good for?

$50 and is good until 12-31. I did get the black model and saved the $$$.
