Default More of the Optima - Lee Minie's

Took the new CVA Optima out to 100 yards yesterday with 70gr BH209, CCI 209M primers and the 270gr Powerbelt Platinums. Sweet group. This load is super light recoil and easy enough for my 14 year old nephew to shoot. He'll be hunting this year for the first time ever. He originally wanted to use the new muzzleloader but then i got a CVA Apex 30-06 and after he shot 6 rounds, he was wide eyed and going, Im going to use this instead!!
I changed out scopes to a Bushnell Sportsman 3-9x32. I put the black scope on my Apex.


American Pioneer 2F from Today,



Those 360gr Lee Minie's show excellent promise!!
