Ok guys...im a full on rifle loony...but i know NOTHING about muzzle loaders. Ive got an invite this year to hunt some prime private land so its time i take the plunge.

How does the Optima cva v2 stack up? Im looking for a stainless gun thats easy to clean that shoots well.

Also...what should i look for in optics? Ive got an extra vx-3i 2.5-10 laying around...will this be suitable for a muzzle loader?
