Outdoorslover is using open sights, so 4" group at 50 would be OK in my mind with open sights, 6" unacceptable. I have had excellent grouping with 90 to 100g of loose 777 and a 300g XTP or 300g Gold Dot in my Omega. So Outdoorslover may need to do so more load and bullet selection, I however am using a 3-9 scope.

I am shooting 4 inch groupsat 50 but 3 inch at 100 (I ain't sh**ing you)with my Omega. I can post target pics lol. The targetsfromthe Apex ML wouldn't be worth seeing because there was no holes in them[:-][&:]. You have to hit the target to produce holes.

Anyways, I'll be preoccupied with my new(other) gun now. I bought a Remington 1100 with fully rifled slug barrel. I have to get that thing tuned up.

Thanks for the replies. I sent CVA a detailed email stating my troubles andI'll follow it up with a phone call in a few days. I'd love to have a 50 cal.

3" at 100 yards is excellent with open sights, my brother and his friends sight in their Flintlock MLer to be dead on at 13 yards and 70 yards, with PRB. They get 3" groups at 70 yards, but not at 100. You will find the ML more accurate than the Remington 1100 slug barrel. There is a lotof good bullets for the shotgun now, they followed the ML trends.

Actually, the Remington seems to be more accurate. That thing ain't no ML, I'll tell you that. I sighted it in today at 50 yards. It took me 5 shots to get it and then I pegged them all through the center. It was about a 3.5 inch, 5 shot group(with cheap ass shells too). I love that gun already and I have a feeling I'll be shooting it a bit more than the ML. That sucker is expensive to shoot--super expensive. I spent $20 on 10 shells and shot them all today. It competes with the ML for cost, that's for damn sure. I take back my comment, I won't AFFORD to shoot it more than the ML. [&:]

I'm still a Ml man, don't worry.

$20 for 10 shells? Stop buying name brand stuff! I get winchester shotgun shells at walmart, a brick of 100 rounds for $14

I contacted CVA and told them my problems with their product and they said mail it in. If it can't be fixed they will replace it.

So far so good.

LOLuse your brain Frontier[:-]. Thesewere saboted slugs, not bird shot. I was using a fully rifled slug barrel. They cost a ton of money to shoot. The ones I bought are actually some of the cheapest they sell too.

I buy all myshotshells (bird shot)shells at Wal Mart too. For pheasants I do splurge and spend 10 bucks a box on the best shells ever made--Fiocchi Golden Pheasants though.
