Default RE: cva buckhorn

I looked at a CVA Buckhorn while at Wal Mart today. $99.00 for it. I kind of liked the changes they have made over the Staghorn Magnum which it replaced (that and the Eclipse). The grip addition on the forearm and the grip area on the back stock area are nice. Other then that it looks to be a basic meat and potatoes rifle.

90 grains of Powder and a powerbelt or XTP and normally they are very good shooters if they are like my Staghorn at all. The one I looked at today even the hardware to stock fit was not all that bad. And they had a Wolf there for $119.00 which I have read some real good reviews on.

While I will tell you there are better rifles out there, I am sure that the Buckhorn would do you justfine if you use some reasonable loads. Don't expect it to be a 150 grain powder burner. Shoot strong charges with a good bullet,and you should kill deer just as dead as my expensive rifles do.
