I can’t say enough about my new CVA MR-X. This gun shoots better than some of my high power rifles. But the most amazing thing was when I went to sight it in. Whenever a dealer says they will bore sight your gun I always take it with a grain of salt. My hope on most cases is that it’s at least on the paper. I went to the range today, set my target at 50 yards. Hit the upper left of a 3 inch bullseye. Made a quick adjustment and bullseye. Shot a third round and hit the same hole. Put the target to 100 yards and bullseye again. Fastest zero in time ever. Thank you Muzzleloaders.com and CVA. I will highly recommend you both.

Just got my new smokepole back from the range. Rifle and scope both show good fit and finish, everything is smooth with a good tight lock-up, scope responded like it should have with a nice tactile click while adjusting and a consistent 1/4” movement with each click. I have to pick nits to find anything wrong. Gun came from Muzzle-Loaders with scope installed and bore sighted, the barrel plugs weren’t installed so I had to remove the scope to install the screws. While the scope removed noticed a big adhesive smear on scope, took some elbow grease and some Ballistol but it cleaned up. Took it to the range and fired three rounds at 100 yds not a mark on the 14x14 sighting target. Brought it in to 50 yds and elevation was dead-on but hit 6” left. Five more shots and it is dead center at 100. 75 gr BH 209 (by weight), 250 gr Barnes TMZ, Harvester crush rib sabots. Really liking this thing, can’t wait to get it into the timber. I will be a regular Muzzle-Loaders.com customer.

This is my second season hunting whitetail with my CVA Accura MR/Leupold combo. What I can tell you is it only took me one shot each season for two nice bucks. My Buck a year ago was an 11 point big boy, using a Powerbelt 250 with 2 White Hot 50 grains. Hit that boy at about 80-90 yards from my stand, heard him run into the treeline and heard a sapling tree snap. Found him within 25 yards of where I hit him. Lung shot, massive bleed. Found the Powerbelt intact and flat on the opposite side of the entry, just inside the hide when I caped him out. This years Buck not that big boy from last year, but a nice 8 point, pretty wide. Same set up, possibly a bit closer at 65-70 yards. He ran a bit further into the treeline, maybe 50-60 yards. Another lung. No bullet found this time, had an exit wound. If I could post a pic or two I would, but don't see a way. Nice rifle, easy to load, easy to clean, and a nail driver.

Purchasing and shipping was simple. Rifle arrived in perfect condition. Set up was easy. Took an afternoon to zero in at 100 yds. Baseball sized group from supported bench @ 100. Definitely likes Black Horn 90-100 grains vs pellets. Much less smoke and fouling using Black Horn. Pushing Hornady Bore Driver 290 grain projectiles.

Dead Right There -

Decent shipping time.
The bore sight pre-shipping was true.
The Leupold Freedom muzzleloader scope was spot on. 7 shots (cleaning btwn each shot) got it to a 1”MOA 3 shot group at 100 yds benchrest.
The color of the stock doesn’t match the big Maine woods (too much white), but that’s negligible at this point.
75 yrd neck shot through some thick Hemlock and saplings. 150 grains of triple 7 behind a 290 grain Hornady Boredriver FTX. 160lb 8 point. DRT
