I have been wanting to upgrade my old cva wolf and get into a new muzzleloader. I have been watching the CVAs because I value the no tool need breech plug they have. I dont really care for the optima plastic feeling stock. The accura has a nice tacky feel but not sure I want to drop a grand on new accura and scope combo. Im in KY so Muzzleloader Season is only a few weekends here and there. Is the Optima with the AR like stock a nice upgrade over the regular optima since it eliminates the plastic stock? Do they ever go on sale before the season starts?
