Looking for high precission muzzle loader
I have an old percussion muzzle loader and I am tired of hang fires. So I am looking for a precision rifle to carry me though the rest of my years (sub MOA, no sabots). I will be mainly shooting open sights but want to have the option of adding a scope for longer distances (>400 yards). 50 cal for deer and elk. Do you have any suggestions? Thank you very much in advance.

Take a look at CVA's Accura line. That said, I think 400 yards is overly optimistic.

Only thing that comes to mind is a Whitworth sniper rifle. Unfortunately ,misfires are a sometimes unavoidable occurrences in muzzloaders

Thanks for the replies. It is time to go inline to reduce the hang fires. I was also looking at the CVA Paramount pro V2, but they discontinued the model. All I could find was a possible breach explosion as to why(?). I'll look further into the Accura line.

In regard to scoping a muzzleloader: be aware that some states do not allow that…..

You might like to look into options for different nipples. Where my nipple threads into the drum ther is a clean out screw .I take this crew out, fill the channel with powder and. replace the screw. Never a misfires this way.

I think I will step back on the precision idea due to the cost and look at the Accura. I was looking at Arrowhead which is a little out of my league and I am not sure I'll require the 200+ distance often. I prefer having the long distance option. I do live in Colorado and would put a rail on for a scope option. And yes, I could add a little powder near the nipple, but it is time to upgrade my 54 cal Renegade.
Whitworth is not as modern as I'd like.
Thanks for the advice.
