The Wolf V2 from Connecticut Valley Arms is a testament to modern muzzleloading, blending tradition with innovation in a manner that will appeal to both seasoned hunters and newcomers alike. This rifle, renowned for its lightweight design and agile maneuverability, remains an ideal choice for youth shooters, small-framed adults, or any hunter seeking a nimble firearm for dense brush environments.
At the heart of the Wolf V2's ingenuity lies its patent-pending Northwest Legal Breech Plug. This innovative feature allows seamless transformation from a 209 closed-breech system to an exposed musket cap breech. Such versatility ensures compliance with hunting regulations in Idaho and Oregon while maintaining optimal performance.
The fully ambidextrous stock boasts a durable black synthetic finish, offering reliability under various weather conditions. The highlight of this model is CVA’s Quick-Release Breech Plug (QRBP), which stands out as the sole tool-free removal breech plug currently available on the market. Even after extensive firing sessions—20 shots or more—the QRBP can be effortlessly removed with just your fingers.
A simple touch on the breeching button located at the front of the trigger guard opens up the break-action breech smoothly—a user-friendly feature designed for swift action when it matters most.
The barrel itself is compact yet precise, crafted from stainless steel and equipped with DuraSight Fiber Optic Sights that promise clear target acquisition even in low light conditions. In essence, this rifle offers substantial value without imposing financial strain—truly embodying "a lot of gun for a reasonable price."
Important Note: This particular model employs a musket cap ignition system necessary only within Idaho and Oregon jurisdictions; if your pursuits take you elsewhere across state lines where such restrictions do not apply, consider opting instead for their non-Northwest Legal variants.
