Cabela's had the TC Impact on for half off and I purchased one on a whim for $180 here in Canada. My experience with muzzleloaders to this point was a old .40 flintlock that I played around with at the range using patch round balls.
I wanted to shoot full bore bullets that I can cast at home, many indicated that TC's counterbored muzzle wouldn't work well with that. They may be right, I was getting 4" groups at 50 yards with some flyers completely off the paper here and there. The TC has a great trigger, and sights, the rest I don't care for much.
Next I found a CVA Wolf on sale for $200. I bought it and it just came in the other day. I haven't shot it yet, but it appears to be alot nicer than the TC and the trigger is amazing on it. It terrible iron (plastic?) sights and plastic sling swivels which are two items I don't care for. It feels smaller and lighter in the hand than the TC and I much prefer the barrel lock on the CVA.
If only CVA could put some nice sights on the Wolf and see about some steel sling mounts, I would never want another gun. I wish these companies would up the price $30 and just finish it nice.
