I did the initial cleaning and then took it to sight it in. Right out of the box I hit 2" to the right and 2" to the left of center at 50 yds. Freehand. Height was perfect. Then I used a rest at 100 yds. Only 5 " of drop. 100gr. Pyrodex Select powder and 275gr TC Maxi Hunter. I'm happy with that!

I live in Idaho. There are only a few inline muzzleloaders that can be used in my state. If I want an inline there are few options for me to hunt with in Idaho. The breech has to be exposed and I must use full bore lead bullets and loose powder. I would call this a carbine very close to a CVA Wolf. It is an inexpensive inline muzzleloader that works well. It has a fast 1/48 twist. The breech for northwest version is cut out to expose the primer to elements making an inline legal in Idaho. The breech is easily removed with fingers making it very easy to clean well and quickly. If you like the CVA wolf you will like this rifle also. I do not like the the sights but that is a preference thing. I purchased a rear peep sight which I like over the original rear sight. I guess that is a preference thing also. If you can buy this rifle for 250 dollars or less, I would consider purchasing this rifle. If I had to pay more I would upgrade to next model from CVA with a bit longer barrel. I will keep this rifle in my collection but I will upgrade to a longer barrel at a later date. This Covid thing makes it hard to find anything to purchase. This is why I chose this rifle but I do not regret my purchase. Over all, I give it 4 stars.
