Bergara barrels on CVA Optima Pro?

MN_COMMANDER · 11-19-2009, 09:50 AM

Hey guys! First post here. Alot of good info on this site!

What year did CVA start using Bergara for their barrels? I have a 2006 Optima Pro w/ a stainless, fluted barrel that says "MADE IN SPAIN" on it. I thouht that in 06 they started using Bergara? Could it be a bergara w/o the markings?
I know that CVA had barrel problems in the past, and after seeing all the garbage on the net about CVA past and present ( some of which I'm sure was operator error), it would be a little piece of mind and a bonus if I had a Bergara

.
Also, is anyone having any luck using BH209 out of their Optimas? If so post your load please.

Thanks in advance.

the optima, kodiak, elkhorn pro didnt get them until 2008 or somewhere about.

Your 06 barrel is fine though! I had an 03 optima and that sucker was a shooter!

Somebody please quote me if Im wrong. Bergara has made Stainless Steel and Blued Barrels for the CVA (Optima Elite) since 08. Is your MLer a Optima Elite?

bergara has been making them for a handful of years now. Maybe since 2005-2006? i forget what year they came out in. The elkhorn pro i know just started coming out in 2008. They are pretty much going through an barrel update on most of their current models. I dont think the wolf has been done yet, probably wont be either.
