    $100 deer slayer

    Picked up this CVA Kentucky long rifle Saturday for 100 bucks. Put a new nipple in it and shot it on Sunday. Overall nice muzzleloader for a low end budget gun . Has no proof mark or any indication of where it was produced. Wondering if it is one of the old USA made barrels. FBC

    Hello Ferryboatcaptain,

    I believe the only USA made barrels were on the early Mountain Rifles.

    I can’t believe you can find any firearm for a hundred bucks today. Looks like you got really lucky.

    What caliber? Twist rate?

    How about a detailed range report?
