Got this in a news letter from CVA.

Bergara Barrels® for CVA APEX™ Rifle Available Direct at CVA.com
CVA has announced that beginning in January 2011, Bergara Barrels for its popular APEX interchangeable barrel rifle system will be sold exclusively through its CVA website – www.CVA.com.
This novel approach to the sale of after-market barrels for the APEX will enhance the appeal of the APEX to consumers and retailers alike, according to Dudley McGarity, CEO of Blackpowder Products, Inc., owner of both the CVA and Bergara Barrel brands.
“The APEX is a relatively new entrant to the switch barrel market,” explains McGarity. “Due to its short history, there are just not enough APEX frames in the hands of consumers to justify our dealers stocking of a full line of APEX center-fire and muzzleloading barrels, and this has led to owner’s being frustrated in their efforts to find additional barrels for their APEX rifles.” By selling the barrels direct to consumers rather than through CVA’s dealer base, McGarity says that CVA will be able to offer APEX owners both ready availability and significantly lower prices than before. “The intended result,” McGarity concluded, “is a more efficient and economical system for distributing APEX after-market barrels that will make the complete APEX rifles even easier for our dealers to sell versus its main competitor, the T/C Encore -- as they will be a much better long term value.”
An insert will be included in the box with each APEX rifle that gives the prices and ordering instructions for the APEX barrels. CVA’s direct purchase prices for the APEX barrels will be $219.95 for center-fire barrels and $195.95 for muzzleloading barrels.

BERGARA EXPANDS ITS OFFERING OF CVA APEX RIFLES
Expanding on the success of its after-market barrels for the APEX, CVA’s premium interchangeable barrel rifle, Bergara Barrels will add shotgun barrels to the APEX assortment for 2011. These new offerings will be 12 Gauge Slug and 12 Gauge Turkey. The Turkey Barrel is threaded to accept chokes and comes standard with a extra-full turkey choke. MSRP for both new barrels is $219.95.
“This addition of the shotgun barrels really expands the applications for the APEX rifle,” stated Dudley McGarity, CEO of Blackpowder Products, Inc., owner of the CVA and Bergara brands. “Now the APEX can be used as a turkey gun in the spring, and as a slug gun in states where center-fire rifles are not allowed for deer hunting.”
