I haven't fired this rifle yet but I inspected it when it was delivered. Very nice looking rifle and the size I was looking for. It will be easy to carry in the thick brush I have to go through to get to my hunting spot. The scope is clear. The case included with the rifle is very nice. I hope the gun shoots as good as it looks.

My husband got the wolf for me as I am short in stature and the guns specs suit me perfect. 2 shots at the range and bullseye second shot. Can't wait to go out hunting for my deer. Real steal for me thanks cva and hubby.

Love love love

I finally settled on the CVA Wolf muzzleloader ... did not want to shell out the money for a top-of-the-line muzzleloader, so I had to do my homework to get a balance of price and features. I read a lot of on-line reviews and research, and I think I made a good choice with the CVA Wolf. I went with the complete package with camo stock, scope, and starter kit included.

One disadvantage is that the comb of the Wolf stock was not designed for this higher scope mount. The comb rests a little low on the cheek when using this scope mount. For me, this was a minor inconvenience, and an acceptable trade-off to keep the ability to use the iron sites along with the scope.

Last night I took the time to clean the rifle from shots fired after sighting it in. The break action design makes cleaning relatively easy. I've heard stories about how difficult a muzzleloader is to clean. I did not have that experience. The black powder solution was able to easily clean the barrel after a few patches. The powder I used was advertised as "easy-clean", so perhaps that helped.

The Wolf has all the features of the most expensive muzzleloaders, but at a lower cost.

The hammer is accessible and easy to operate. Additionally, the gun produces good accuracy at 50 and 100 yards.

I hope this gun will provide many, many years of service.
