CVA Mountain Hunter Rifle

[Robert58]

I am thinking about getting Muzzleloading. I am thinking about buying a 50 cal. Mountain Hunter Rifle. Is it a good one for a first rifle?

Thanks,
Robert

Specifications:
- .50 Caliber
- 32" blued barrel (Hunter)
- 1:48 rifling twist (Hunter)
- UltraGrain Finish hardwood stock (Hunter)
- 9 lbs. total weight
- 48" overall length

This will do fine to start with, my first muzzleloader was the T/C Renagade in .54 caliber.

Thanks

A friend of mine has an Original CVA Mountain Classic he bought in the '70s. I wish I could afford one. But I will have to make do with the Hunter for now. Latter I am planning on buying some Silver wedge plates and an original Patch Box from The Hawken Shop. If I really like the Black Powder Experience.

Deer Cr. makes a clone of the old CVA Mt. rifles in kit form for around 200 bucks I have heard they are as good as the ones made by CVA but a lot cheaper.

The site below is a dealer for Deer Cr. I don't think you can go direct to them, this guy is a good fellow I think he has one of the guns mentioned himself.

Deer Creek does not have a web site but they do advertise in magazines like Muzzle Blast, Muzzleloader and Backwoodsman. They have a great selection of products and speedy servise. Their Deercreek rifle is indeed a kit clone of the Mountain Rifle and under $200. I own three CVA rifles and one CVA pistol and I am satisfied with all of them
