Between my friends and family we have hunted with 8 or 10 BP guns of various make. My personal experience with CVA is that all 5 or 6 of them were very accurate with the right load. For the price they are hard to beat. The other brands are also good but more $. If you can find one of these in your budget get one instead of CVA: Modern Muzzle loading(knight), Remington 700 ML, Thompson Center.
Remember that every rifle will have a favorite bullet. Try several if your first bullet is not as accurate as you expected. Some of our hunting party's guns love powerbelts, some not so much. Just because a few people on the internet say a model won't shoot it does not mean your gun of the same model won't.
