Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots CVA vs. Handi...grudge match?

A quick search on Dangerous Muzzleloaders will tell the tale. You don't have to take my word for it. CVAs are accurate that isn't the issue. The H&Rs are a lot less finicky. If you want a bottom of the line product, then a spainish made rifle will suit you well. There are bold shooters and old shooters but there are no old bold shooters. Live long, avoid spainish made guns.

Well then i will sell my Apex right away based on your examination.

I bet you didn't find an Apex

You'd be safer that way.

They had several....

[quote=Chainsaw]First off if I am correct you cannot buy a new H&R product muzzleloader so if you want a switchbarrel stainless product you could probably chose the CVA.

The barrel accessory program page at the H&R site still shows them. A call to them showed that only offer it as a fitted product now:

I also own a CVA Scout stainless stand alone rifle in 7mm-08 and fit and function in this rifle is superb. It is a finicky shooter though and I have found one bullet and load it shoots accurately and just use that one loading.

I do not doubt this and this is likely how I would use it, just wondering if the H&R is the same way?[quote]

And the H&R is safe to shoot.

I carefully examined a bunch of CVAs today. I wouldn't own one if it were a gift. Very poor workmanship.
