What do you hate about the Wolf?
I have the Remington 700ML. It's ok, I don't shoot it that much. It's scoped but has irons that are not very useful at anything past 50yds. It takes 209 primers and is easy to take apart and clean. I like it but there are better options out there. My dad gave it to me as a gift so that is what I use. It's also bullet picky. I only shoot Barnes sabots and they are good out to 100yds, it's a .45cal in the sabot to fit the .50cal bore. Bore butter is your friend. I can't remember the powder I use but I run 120grs. I used to use the pellets but you can only do 50gr increments.
Where are you located? There are a few places near AACo and I like Delmarva Sporting Clays on the eastern shore.
Myrtle Grove, GreenRidge, Savage, or Elk Neck
Harford Co typically rifle shoot at Elk Neck State park.
Was told Elk Neck was off limits for muzzle loaders?
They say that they have a muzzle loader range
OP says he's shopping on a Rem 870 budget, so I take that to mean cheap, but decent. What is is you don't like about your CVA Wolf?
I’d definitely like it to be scoped!
Oh boy, I'm about to embarrass myself. I'll start by saying I am not a ML expert by any stretch of the imagination. My only real complaint with my Wolf is the accuracy. I have tried 6 or 7 different sabots and a couple different brands of pellets in varying load sizes trying to find what it likes and nothing will shoot consistently for me. I'm a fairly decent rifle shot with my centerfire guns so I don't believe its me, but even at 50 yards I'll shoot one right thru the bullseye, and then the next shot will be 4 inches off center. Its frustrating because I'll pick up my friends Accura v2 and it is noticeably more accurate with the same kinds of pellets and sabots I am using.
