Something just didn't feel right. Couldn't bring myself to buy a CVA Accura MR-X. I think it's a fine rifle, but something I would want to upgrade from a few years down the road. Just didn't seem like the right decision.

I called the nice folks at Woodman Arms and chatted about what I plan to use the rifle for, lead times, etc. Long story short, I'll have a Patriot 50 cal muzzleloader in my hands sometime this summer. Delivery actually works quite well so now the wait begins.
