With today's modern black powder rifles, what do you trust to take in the woods and why?

Thanks, Dan

I like my encore. Dependable and accurate. I also carry my H&R sidekick a lot also. Lighter, easy to maneuver and accurate also.

I have been using Knights for several years. I am fond of the older MK 85's but also own some of the newer models (LRH, Disc extreme, etc.). They hold up year after year and have yet to disappoint me in the field. Working up loads for them has been relatively easy for me. I have yet to have one that did not meet or exceed their accuracy guarantee. I have never had to send one back for maintenance.

I went to smokeless savages and will never look back,unless state regs. prohibit.If I have to shoot BP/sub it'll be a rem.700ML(keep the bolt guts clean) ,if I have to use a sidelock/iron sights its a TC Renegade.

CVA Optima .50cal I will be using this year on elk. Excellent accuracy, dependable with blackhorn209, light, fits me good and did i mention accurate?

Plus she looks good too!

Semisane · « **Reply #5 on:** October 24, 2010, 06:38:17 PM »

Hands down - Omega X7. Short, light, accurate, built like a tank.

I've really liked my Buckstalker. It's only downfall from the factory was the sights and I got a set of TruGlo's on it now. Shoots good, carbine length and nice pointer. Only thing I'd change is a wood stock, which I'll probably end up making myself.

I like my CVA Optima. It is identical to bigblock's except it has a Tasco World Class scope. Shoot .5" at 50 yards with TC Shockwaves and 90 grains of Pyro.

I have been really impressed with the CVA so far and will probably add another to shoot BH209 and Thor's in next year. Good quality piece.

I have two of the older Knights that take #11 percussion caps.

My TC encore shoots 1" groups at 100yds as long as you swab the barrel between shots. I use 125gr. of 777 and a 250gr. sst!!! It is my gun of choice here in Iowa!!!

Have one just like this and an Accura, both are great shooters. CVA has made giant leeps in quality in the last couple years.

i was gonna use my omega i got earlier this year, but got a good deal on a traditions and after fireing it i'm useing it as my hunting gun. the omega has still not been fired and i'm thinking of selling it since the traditions shoots good.

Even tho i own two T/C's (with are sidelocks)if i was to buy a new inline, i would look for a cva. I've owned about all the inlines that are on the market and the cva's have been the best i've used! BUT thompson center does have the best customer service in the market hands down!!!

Empty Quiver · « **Reply #15 on:** October 31, 2010, 08:02:02 AM »

A Knight KRB, I chose to buy a raffle ticket and then won it! It shoots very well, better than I do. You might want to consider the fact that the business is a bit shakey at best. I figure the chances of needing a factory repair are slim, so don't worry much.

simplicity · « **Reply #16 on:** October 31, 2010, 11:12:59 AM »

I've been a TC guy for years but had a issue with a omega that tc wouldn't do anything with so I bought a savage and I don't think i'll ever look back. less hassle to clean and shoots well under a inch with performance well past what triple seven can do.

Swampman · « **Reply #17 on:** October 31, 2010, 11:31:31 AM »

NEF Sidekick or the Remington 700ML.

Knight Disc, Lehigh breech plug & Blackhorn 209, vari-x-III 1.75-6 & a 2.5 lb trigger.

toytruck · « **Reply #20 on:** November 16, 2010, 02:27:17 PM »

White Rifles hands down for me!

I had TC products sold them all cept the Renegade. The Whites are easier to clean to shoot and are snot knocking accurate.

Cheesehead · « **Reply #21 on:** November 16, 2010, 03:08:27 PM »

Savage Model 10. Burning AA5744. TC Sabots and 250 grain XTP's. A new 4x Burris this year, great accuracy @ 100 yards.

1marty · « **Reply #22 on:** November 16, 2010, 04:06:13 PM »

my Omega hands down. It's as accurate as any rifle in my collection to 100 yards

drbooth · « **Reply #23 on:** November 17, 2010, 06:59:35 PM »

Ruger 77/50

yellowtail3 · « **Reply #24 on:** May 15, 2011, 08:37:07 AM »

CVA Buckhorn. Why? It was eighty bucks on clearance, and it kills deer quite dead. Nice trigger, too.

Thanks, Dan

My vote would go to the Knight... and with the new models coming out they are even better...

This new one has really got me tempted...

Encore,s

kctibs · « **Reply #27 on:** May 15, 2011, 05:57:21 PM »

Encore have had nothing but good luck and and good experiences with mine. Now my son has an Impact and I am expecting good results also.

Landngroove · « **Reply #28 on:** May 17, 2011, 11:31:16 AM »

My choice is a T/C Firehawk.

Swampman · « **Reply #29 on:** May 17, 2011, 04:35:07 PM »

T/Cs undersized bore is such a pain. I also wish they made someting that looked like a rifle. They used to.
