TurkeyHunter Posted September 15, 2005 Report Share Posted September 15, 2005 Re: Anyone have a CVA WOLF? TheNumber1Young1 have you had any luck with your muzzloader yet? You kinda have me worried now I just bout the camo version of the wolf it should arrive next Tuesday. I'll be going and shooting mine next weekend and will post back with results as well. Ive always used 2X50 grain Pyrodex Grain Pellets with my inline Knight I have now. Shoots great! Curious with the newer muzzloaders if I should jump to 150. humm Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter109 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Re: Anyone have a CVA WOLF? i had a old side lock and my dad used it two years ago and droped a buck at 123yards shooting a powerbelt 245grain bullet and 90 grams of pyrodex black powder.

Jeramie Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Re: Anyone have a CVA WOLF? Im not sure what load you should be using. A buddy of mine is shooting the cheap Walmart sabots and pyrodex and hes getting pretty good groups out to 100yds. Easily good enough to take a kill shot. 3,4, and 5 shots in a saucer sized group. Not to shabby! I now know of 3-different people who bought the wolf and all are pretty happy with it due to the price. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurkeyHunter Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Re: Anyone have a CVA WOLF? Thanks jeramie for the reply makes me feel much better. Went and bought my scope mounts today and found out the gun will arrive to day! Its always sweet getting a new toy and putting all the fixings on it!

Guest TheNumber1Young1 Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Re: Anyone have a CVA WOLF? Dont get my wrong its a great gun, i love it, i just keep picking the wrong sabots/bullets to use and i was wondering what someone else who has the wolf uses....Because ive spent over 50$ on bullets, and sabots, ive tried 295 grain Powerbelt hollow point, those didnt work,and i tried some cheap walmart thing.so i just dont know what to do, i hope i find out what load to use by the time hunting season gets here.

Jeramie Posted September 16, 2005 Report Share Posted September 16, 2005 Re: Anyone have a CVA WOLF? Are you keeping the ML clean? Clean it, take it out and shoot and then run spit patches after every shot. See if that helps. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest TheNumber1Young1 Posted September 17, 2005 Report Share Posted September 17, 2005 Re: Anyone have a CVA WOLF? im cleaning it after the 5th or 6th shot?Maybe i should clean it after every shot?see im new to this sport of muzzleloading, and someone told me, aw just clean it after the 5th or 6th shot when ur sighting it in...so maybe i wont take his advice no more...thanks jeramie Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramie Posted September 19, 2005 Report Share Posted September 19, 2005 Re: Anyone have a CVA WOLF? Im pretty new to it too. Ive actually been shooting for roughly 3-4 years but I still have a LOT to learn. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeramie Posted September 20, 2005 Report Share Posted September 20, 2005 Re: Anyone have a CVA WOLF? Im in now too guys. I bought a CVA Optima for $100. I had a guy at work offer me $175 (it had an old Taso pronghorn scope) for it so I took it. I still have a traditions inline but its harder to clean. My brother and a buddy of mine both bought the CVA Wolf. They both love theirs (even though they are considered low end). Honestly they shoot as good as the optima. I ran to Walmart today at lunch and bought a CVA wolf. I also bought the dove tails and rings. I am going to mount a 3x9x32 Bushnell on it this evening. Its the scope I have on my Remington 700, 30-06. Its been a decent rifle scope so it should be a nice ML scope. I've now got to get a new scope for my rifle but such is life. I already have my eye on a few.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurkeyHunter Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Re: Anyone have a CVA WOLF? Grin...I bought a new scope for my browning 30-06 and took the 3X9X40 scope and placed it on my Camo Wolf. It looks sweet! Now just hoping it shoots stright! I have a inline Knight 50 Cal and use 2X50 grain Pyrodex Grain pellets and shoots very accurate. However I bought this one because I like to collect guns and wants a camo muzzeloader. Using these new Primers 209 seem like they should be much better the the caps from my knight. Again Ill give and update on mine next Monday.

Jeramie Posted September 21, 2005 Report Share Posted September 21, 2005 Re: Anyone have a CVA WOLF? Ill update you all later too. Im shooting either this weekend or the first of next week. Either way Ill take pics of the grouping and give some specifics. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
TurkeyHunter Posted September 26, 2005 Report Share Posted September 26, 2005 Re: Anyone have a CVA WOLF? Well I went and shot mine this week. Took me awhile to site it in. I used 2X50 grain Pyrodex pellets and the hollow point Powerbelt bullets. After I got it sited in and hit the bulleye twice in a row after 6-8 shots I had a heck of a time trying to get the powerbelt bullet all the way down the barrel! Even after running a patch through the barrel. I think it needing some cleaning solution because after that I couldnt get it to shoot accuarate again and the bullet to load all the way down the barrel. Anyone using the wolf cva did u unscrew the ram rod at anytime? It looks like you can unscrew the ram rod and make it longer to? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
hunter109 Posted October 3, 2005 Report Share Posted October 3, 2005 Re: Anyone have a CVA WOLF? try the powerbelt arrowpoint i shoot them and they are realy good for patterens. me and my dad shoot in a goup around the middle of a paper plate every time. they cost 15.00 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
