Just received my Woodman arms Patriot 45 cal 18 twist,I threw a 22 long rifle scope on it just to do a few tests I plan on switching to open sites later, in my quest for an ultralight muzzleloader the Woodman arms deserved to be considered, I have to admit like others I've read on here , The initial visual aesthetics of the stock didn't seem like what I thought was the ideal stock design, woodland arms as made an adjustment on the shape of that stock on the butt stock, I decided to give the rifle a try, was I ever wrong, when I shoulder the stock it feels wonderful and having shot 15 to 20 rounds through the rifle I'm very comfortable shooting it on the bags even for such a lightweight rifle, as far as the mechanics of the rifle and how it's put together it is excellent to me, I'm impressed with the gun from front to back, again it is very different from a CVA of course the action function alone is very different, my favorite rifle the last couple of years has been a CVA Acura mountain rifle I think it just got replaced,,I will try to give some updates as I shoot some different loads of black horn and different bullets in the gun but it likes fury 40 cal open tip 240 grain bullets and also they're 225 grain star tip.. twice the price of a CvA Acura, yes ,I think if more of us got a chance to shoot this rifle we would agree that it's well worth it. I like it so much I ordered another one
