Used Muzzy.... where to Buy?


Recommended Posts

Without posting a link, go to the gun auction site, gunbroker and gunsamerica.

I just bought a TC Encore.50 X 209 Magnum with a 3X9 Nikon for $699 at Scheels in Sioux Falls... Shoots like a dream, at a considerable savings over new.

I was looking at Cabelas last night and they have some of the T/C Triumphs with a scope available for $279. That is a sweet deal. That is for a new muzzleloader.

When buying a used muzzleloader, check the barrel and make sure the previous owner was good about cleaning it. Also check the breech plug to make sure that is in good working condition. One of our guys bought a gun that had a siezed breech plug, which was a pain to get fixed.

for what a good muzzy costs new, i'd but a new one. the reason a lot of big name stores charge nearly a new price on them is because all of the cleaning they have to do before they can put them on the shelf. how much do you want to spend? are you brand specific? being as how it cant be scoped in MN, unless used during the firearms season, i find it worthless buying a 600 dollar or more muzzy, because mine was was 260 bucks new, and it shoots 2-3 inch groups with open sights at 100 yards. they'd be tighter if it was scoped, but if your shooting at a deer with open sights, accuracy deminishes tremendously at 150 yards! i feel at that range and beyond, you are just trying to hit the deer, not place a shot in the boiler room. fiberoptic sights are big, and take away from your filed of view, i believe

I located a Hastings 50X209 for an 870 on another board. Im not interested in it, as I have the Encore and can use the scope.

My hunting partner has one of these, and he says it is extremely accurate.

Just mounts onto the 870 frame like a slug barrel, only its a 50 cal open sights.

you can pick up a CVA wolf kit from fleet farm for under 200 bucks all you need is powder and primers. good gun for the money. same as an optima just a shorter barrel. i have no problem hitting softball at 100 yards with those big fiber optic sights.
