I have both a Savage 10 ML-II and a CVA Wolf In-line.

My preference goes to the Savage, although I have taken many deer with the Wolf and do like shooting Triple 7.

The Savage is more consistantly accurate. There is very little POI deviation from shot to shot. While it takes the same amount of time and energy to clean either rifle, I can sleep at night knowing I didn't clean the Savage and don't have to worry about the corrosive qualities that all non-smokeless powders possess.

The most practical advantage that the Savage has, is that there is not a lingering white smoke cloud after the shot. If the deer runs after being hit, you can immediately detect which way it traveled making tracking much easier.
