Default Optima Elite anyone?

Looking to buy another inline and have been looking at the CVA Optima Elite. It is priced around what I can afford and I like the versatility that it offers with interchangable barrels. Before I slap down the green I thought I would ask if anyone else has purchased an Elite or maybe even shot one and what are your thoughts concerning it's performance. Good or bad, any feedback would be appreciated.

Nothing but good things to say about the Elite.

Thanks for the link frontier gander, a lot of good info there. I think I'm going to have to get me one as soon as they become a little more readily available.

An Elite is always a good inline choice. You won't regret buying it.

Thanks for the replys guys. I really wish I could pick up a Pro Hunter instead but that kind of cash isn't available. When you factor in the firearm/new scope and base&rings it starts to add up. I believe the elite will fit my needs for this year and who knows might buy another toy next year.

I just got one. I got the stainless fluted .50cal with the black fleck thumbhole shot. Still waiting on my .308 barrel to come in though. Haven't shot it yet, but it is a great feeling gun.

I've got a 50.cal stainless model setup with warnes QD rings and a nikon omega scope. Seems to shoot very well, but this is my first go round with a M/L.

Blakesdad that sounds like a sweet shooter you got there. I definely like your choice in optics and mounts. When you get back from the range let us know how your elite performed.
