I fish the mississippi, how can I catch walleye?
It sure looks like a nice rifle, but it wouldn't be for me. I'm a traditionalist. To make deer hunting a real sport, I would get a well made flint lock rifle. Some of the reproductions are really good. This is what the pioneers used. It gives you a nice feeling to be able to put yourself back in those days, and use the same equipment that they used.Buy the best one you can afford.If you're just getting started in muzzleloading,I'd suggest an inline rifle with a removable breech plug and stainless steel barrel.It makes cleaning WORLDS easier!I've been through two percussion guns because of improper cleaning.
From my experience CVA is decent but cheap.I personally use a T/C black diamond .45 cal with stainless barrel.I wouldn't start right off with an inline gun unless your state says they're illegal to use for hunting.But the CVA gun you've selected is a decent gun.
As for powder,go with Hogdon triple7.No sulfur,cleans easy and less corrosive.

Knight muzzleloaders are sturdy, reliable and effective. You cannot go wrong with one.I like my Hawken in 50 cal, but whatever makes you happy. That is what is important.
What size barrell do I need for my paintball gun for long distance accuracy?
i have never used a CVA but the style of that particular muzzleloader is very popular right now, the TC Omega uses the same kind of action to it, I have used TC's from the start, they are more expensive, but are fine American Made Firearms, but that looks like a nice muzzleloader too, i am sure it would make a good hunting rifle.Check the muzzleloader hunting rules where you are, as well. For instance, in Idaho, that muzzleloader would be unlawful during a muzzleloader only hunt, due to it's inline nature and use of a "209" primer. The Lyman Deerstalker is a very nice muzzleloader, reasonably priced, traditional style with a "#11" percussion cap.
