[QUOTE="CliffordN, post: 5749453, member: 22600"] A little more... I know this is old news to most of you, but someone else might be new to the smokepole game and find it informing. The CVA Wolf has a nice knurled knob to unscrew the breechplug. The Traditions Pursuit has a beastly thing which requires some tool we did not get during the lending process, making removing the plug a giant pain in the butt. That was the most significant difference between the two rifles, which otherwise performed equally well. If you neglect to lubricate the breechplug (I used Bore Butter since I have it in abundance) and shoot a few times, you will find removal requires considerable effort. We used needlenosed pliers to get it started, then followed up with a small wrench to finish rotating it to the point where it would turn freely with your fingers. This one feature was enough of an issue to keep me from wanting another one of these rifles... Kudos to the engineers that designed the Wolf! [/QUOTE]
