Default need some help

I am saving up for an cva accura v2 in 45cal. I went to walmart to pick up some quick connections for my air compressor. saw where they have the cva optima for 169. had to hold it. i don't need an another 50cal but damn be almost $180 with tax for an brand new gun.

should I keep saving or get the optima?

My only thought... IMO - the 50 is more versitile than is the 45.

Have to agree with mike on this one and for that price, it's a no brainer..now if you want a rifle to shoot you molded full bore conicals from, again a no brainer,save up for a Knight. they hands down shoot conicals as well as they do saboted bullets.i have been totally impressed with some of the 100 yd 1"-"1 1/2 groups i have seen shot by the new bighorns with the big lead..and i know what my wolverine does with saboted as well as big lead conicals to boot.

I knew that was going to come up. I have priced out the Knights. sadly none of the line up they have right now are calling me. feel like i can upgrade my disc original to the red primer holders and would be happy.

ya'll are right about for the money. I take what I was going to spend on the accura and buy an nikon prostaff and put it on the optima.

stop making me think lol

Corey.........You need to have some self control. If what you want is the Accura .45. You're going to have to pass up a lot of deals along the way of saving the money.
