[QUOTE="Rem700addict, post: 704415, member: 42574"] Currently I shoot one of the old CVA Appollo muzzleloaders, we have converted it to the 209 primer, but it can only handle up to 100grns of triple 7. So i'm thinking about upgrading 1.to get a better rifle maybe capable of shooting up to 200yrds and a little further 2.to get something that is easier to clean. I will be only deer hunting with this muzzleloader so I was hoping to get a touch over 200yrds with it. I was looking at the CVA Optima and was wondering if this was worth the upgrade or not, does it shoot well enough to handle the range i'm looking at? I feel confident my gun will handle 100yrds and a touch over fine, so i'm looking for something that will be more accurate and deadly at the longer yardage. I like the Optima price range but if the advantage is just slightly marginal then i'll save my money for something better. Also if there are any other brands i'm overlooking in this price range with as good of accuracy please let me know any info would be great, thanks. Justin [/QUOTE]
