Selling my CVA Bobcat Caplock to off set my newest's flinter perchance. I shot it a few time's last summer but that was it.
$150 and will trade for flinter stuff. Looking for powder horn, passable bag, Hunter Frock, What ever. I don't have photo's right now but you can watch this video I made of the very gun I am selling.
 
They do make a good "trunk gun" to carry around with supplies for those impromptu/spontaneous hunts or plinking sessions. But that is also because they are so inexp3ensive. There's no doubt that CVA made some of the best round ball barrels of any production maker. Still an inexpensive common gun.
 
I have a .36 Bobcat. Paid $69.00, (not for sale) and wouldn't take $150.00 for mine! They are dang accurate (tho mine took 15-20 years to get a load but its a shooter now!) Some had plastic stocks, mines wood. I would say asking price is very reasonable!
 
I had a young friend bring one of the CVA Bobcats to me once many years ago and wanted me to teach him about muzzleloading. At first I was very skeptical about the "little" .50 cal. But after spending the afternoon with the gun and my young friend, I realized that gun was about the shootenest gun I had used in a long time. Handy, super accurate and easy to load. Helped the lad get his first deer later that year with that rifle.
 
I was lucky enough to pick up a CVA Frontier in .50 caliber which is pretty much the same as a Bobcat but with a wood stock. It's a great little rifle which I use for wood walks instead of a full sized Hawken or Mountain rifle. It filled out my set of three rifles all with browned barrels, The Frontier with a 24 inch barrel, a Hawken with a 28 inch barrel and a Mountain rifle with a 32 inch barrel.
