My shooting buddy picked up a cheapo CVA 45 cal inline muzzleloader. We had a great time shooting it at the range. Now I want one. After exausting the google seach engine (there's not much blackpowder info on the internet), I found out that CVA's are cheap Spanish made guns with possibly explosive barrels.

I found nothing but good stuff on the T/C guns. I'm thinking about an Omega .50 blued with synthetic stock- I found them new for $299.

They have a fast twist, so no lead balls- need to find some cheap conicals to shoot paper with.

Any recommendations?
