[QUOTE="Bigeclipse, post: 1736509, member: 52437"] I currently have a CVA Acurra V2 and an Optima V2. Both have been the best over the shelf rifles I have owned to date. Both shoot sub 1 MOA (2 shot groups) and sub 1.5MOA (3 shot groups). This is with NO swabbing between the first and second shot and a spit swab for the 3rd shot as I think that is what realistic would be in a hunting situation. You rarely will have chance for a second shot let alone a 3rd...so by the time you are shooting 3, you likely have enough time for at least a spit swab. All that being said, it depends what your goal is. Muzzleloader hunting past 300 yards is just really not realistic in my opinion. Honestly, past 250 yards is quite difficult so for my needs the CVA accura and optima are perfect. Heck competition muzzleloader shooters have a difficult time holding 1 MOA past 300 yards so for me ethics start to come into question on how realistic it is to shoot deer past those distances. Just my two cents. [/QUOTE]
