    Nope, I've heard nothing ... yet. But being a big Winchester fan, I'm interested!

    I thought they came out with a "new" rolling block a year or two back, remember seeing it last year while looking for a new muzzleloader. I wasn't impressed with the swiveling breech idea as i was looking for an easier to clean inline, I know I'm getting lazy in my old age. not sure if it is the same one your talking about though.

    Were a private label by CVA.

    If the scope mount hole positioning is the same as my Optima Elite, they need to change it. ButT after two phone calls, and three people later they don't have a clue so I made my own, and EGW will be making the redesign

    You may be thinking of the Winchester Apex. Winchester Muzzleloading is the name licensed by Black Powder Products Inc. from Winchester. The Apex is an in-line with a dropping breech similar to the T/C Omega.
    Cabela's carried them for a couple of years. They were fairly inexpensive.

    One of my friends knows a guy that works with winchester. He has the oppurtunity to buy a new in-line at his cost which is 650 its actualy like a 1000 dollar gun i think but i havent heard or seen anything about them just wondering if someone ever picked up an article and seen something somewhere. Im not sure if they arent making alot of them or if its some new thing that hasnt came out yet

    Doesn't sound like the Apex. What you describe sounds as though it might be a collector's edition or very deluxe model smokepole. Not necessarily just a deer killer.
