Winchester x-150

[Hunter8282]

This is from another site:

I have a winchester x-150 .50 cal muzzleloader for sale.

It has a composite camo stock, stainless steel fluted barrel,it is scoped and sighted in dead nuts at 100 yards, using 100 grains loose 777 powder with a t/c 240 grain shockwave.

It will come with a jug of 777 loose powder, remington clean bore primers,capping tool,cleaning patches,4 quick loaders,sabot starters,ram rod handle,hard case, and a few shockwave sabots and a box of t/c xtp sabots


Ever thing you need to hunt with is right here, I amjust going to switchover to archery only.

It was bought by me brand new in sept 2005 at Jay's in clare.I paid just over $500,not inc the acc's

Looking for $350

Is this a good deal? What's the scope on Winchester ML? Good bad? How do they compare to a TC Omega (which is top on my shopping list right now)

Thanks!

Just my opinion - but NO! unless it is a very expensive scope.

For that money you can get a new technology ML and have a far better gun.

The Winchester, made by BPI/CVA has the old Spanish Extruded Barrel.

Thanks SL.

I am kind of set on the T/C Omega Stainless with regular Laminate stock. Just can't find one right now and kind of waiting to see the T/C Triumph comes out in REAL SS and maybe a different stock.

Thats false! They were the first bpi to ever have the stainless barrel and were of high quality. I used to push the 295gr powerbelts with 170gr RS. Made pretty shower sparks but shot good.

As for the price of $350. I paid that when mine was brand new. They are a super accurate rifle, handle like a dream and the solid stock soaks up recoil nicely.

If it were me, i'd offer $225-$250 for just the rifle.

Heres some work i did on mine and the group it shot with open sights @ 100.

If you can get it in the price range that i said to offer for just the rifle, GET IT.

The X-150 was rumored to be a little difficult so far as priming and removing the spent primer. Any truth to that?

 

[frontier gander]

i could prime/unprime with my bare fingers. Actually, if you held the rifle with the barrel pointed straight up and opened the bolt, the primer would just fall right out.

Buddy has one; very accurate but heavy (i.e., much heavier than my TC Omega). Overall, he has had no issues with it.

 

[frontier gander]

8lbs without a scope but a solid rifle.

I have CVA .45 MagBolt that has been a piece of junk ever since I opened the package it cam in. Maybe I will try floating it and see if that helps. I have yet to see it group better than 4" on a good day and normaly over 6".
