RE: CVA Optima Elite
I just read a review on the CVA Optima elite in American Hunter mag. It said that it is a well built gun. Here is a quote. "Accuary at 100 yards with the .243 barrel and the .50cal barrel was inpressive. However I had to spend a good deal of time with the Optima Elite to get those results, particularly when shooting the .243 barrel. A machine screw holds the synthetic forend to the barel by threading it into the lug. I discovered that accuracy varies greatly with the amount of tension applied to that screw. With the screw head firmly sunk into its pocket in the for-end, groups scattered wildly across the target. I found that by backing the screw out about a quarter turn, the gun setled into a pleasing routine of tightly clustered groups. The same held true for the muzzleloader barrel-eventually I recorded some 1.25-inch groups. Relieving fore-end tension led to best performance." I hope this helps out.
