CVA APEX Vs TC Encore

[zipper89]

I have been Eyeballing the Cva Apex and the TC Encore. With the Indy1500 coming up next on the 18th i was going to look for one. But I am Curious Of which one is a better value. I am Not Looking For Muzzle loader but the Single Shot Calibers.
1) Do they have to be FFL Background because they are Muzzle loaders? (sorry if the question is worded Incorrectly.)
2) Which will be a better Buy as far As Cost Effective and Accuracy?
3) Which one is more Dependable?
4) Can Either Be converted To simi-auto?
5) I Have A CVA Wolf can I Just buy Barrels From CVA From the Apex and Optima and Just use the Receiver I Already Own?

1. yes, since you can swap the barrel and make it a centerfire rifle it has to go through a FFL.
2. opinions vary
3. opinions vary
4. no
5. no (I was a little confused by the question. I think you're asking will the barrels fit on your CVA Wolf muzzleloader?)
