I have used one for two years now. I love it. To those who are straight up traditionalists....I am sorry. The CVA Electra is a nice inline. If you plan on purchasing one, spend a little extra and get the stainless barrel. I have never had any issues with my Electra not firing, though you hear a lot of stories....probably more fictitious or user error than malfunction..... Each time I head from home I change the battery, just so I know exactly how old it is....ITS NEW...lol...I have changed a few of my friend's minds about this muzzleloader....They all enjoy their own now. I hope this helps you a little. Good Luck, and happy hunting.
