So IDK if anyones shot theirs... but "most accurate muzzleloader you'll ever own" is a JOKE.
This gun is by far one of the most inaccurate gun packages I've ever owned. If you cut the sites off entirely and shot with only pointing the barrel like a shotgun it would probably be more accurate. With supplies in such short supply, I LOATHE wasting components on something problematic like this.
I was using huge 24x24" paper targets for this, all at 100 yards. I used BH209 100gr volumetric (I weighed my charges though, using BH's .7 x Volume formula, for a scale weight of 70gr which equals 100gr by volume), 240gr XTP Hornady Sabots. 209M primer... and yes, I bought the special BH209 breech plug. Also fired from bench rest on a lead sled (no weights).
First shot, 5" high, 5" right from center. Not bad for a first shot out of a new gun, very promising. Second shot... dunno, nothing on paper, a complete miss. Suspected high left off target (that would be at least +14" high to miss the backer board). Adjusted scope 12 clicks left, 7 clicks down. Next shot, in the dirt below the target, easily +16" low. Adjusted scope back up 7 clicks. Next shot 4" high and right. This is a 1/4" click scope btw. It continued like that for a few more shots all over the place with ZERO consistency.
I quit and switched over to the Rem700ML. That one has its own issues I'm trying to work through. I've given up on BH209 in that gun, its trash powder that cant group for anything and is just as filthy as pyro (note, I had RUST inside my breech plug after this winter... I've never seen that in 15 years of shooting pyro. The last time the gun was fired was using BH209 and it got a good cleaning as always before storage... yet the rust was there when I got it out. IDK... BH209 is supposed to be less corrosive / reactive).
Frustrating! Worry is increasing as my 209M's run lower and lower. My bottle of BH209 is nearly empty, only have 1 more.
Its obvious to point fingers at the scope and not the gun, but as this is a full scope / gun kit from CVA, I blame the whole thing. I really cant return it as a refurb / blem purchase... so when I got home I immediately ripped the Konus off and stuck on a new Vortex DiamondBack. I'll try and get out and shoot again in the coming weeks, 4th of july weekend for sure.
Hopefully, it is just the scope... we'll see I guess.
I hope you all have much better luck with yours, I'm really disappointed initially after the first shooting session. At this point, I'm praying I can at least achieve 4MOA groups, smaller would be even better. I have no confidence of anything under 2MOA, ever in the Accura.

I opened the generic box to find just a gun case inside with no other box or packaging. Pulled out the case and unzipped it. To my dismay it was a fully scoped Accura v2 PR apparently. Its 3" longer than my sons MR and definitely not 30" for the LR. It did have the new style "humpy" stock / cheek pad. $681 is the price CVA has for this kit.
