cva apex .50 cal ml
« on: October 18, 2011, 04:25:08 PM »
just wanted to let any of you guys know who were thinking about buying an apex muzzleloader that i bought one last week and made it out to the range with it today.i am very pleased to say that it is the best front stuffer i have ever owned, and i have had a lot of them.topped her off with a 3 to 9 trophy xlt,very nice scope for the money,started at 50 yds,3 shots after bore sighting and i was set to go back to 100 yds.3 more shots and one more adjustment on the scope and i was cutting holes 3 inches high at 100 yds.i gambled on the load cause it was what i had readily available.3 triple 7 pellets and a 250 grain shockwave sabots was what the gun liked without any fuss at all.i think cva got all the bugs out of this gun in the 2 and a half years its been available.trigger is very clean and crisp,and not one complaint to be had from this happy customer.oh and clean up was a breeze,a 5 year old can remove the breech plug after 20 shots!!!!!!! ;)

Glad to hear you are having good success.  I bought one and have had good results as well.  I'm only using 100 grains (pellets) of triple 7.  I put a 1.5-6x36 Bushnell Elite 4200 scope i had on mine and like it alot.
 
Didn't get out this weekend to hunt but will be among them late this week.
 
Good luck with yours.
Yeah, I'm a rifle looney

I have a 308 bbl that I'm thinking I might sell.  It came with the rifle and I'm full of 308's so I ordered a 7-08 and 222 Rem for it.
