go for the cva wolf and get started. you have to start somewhere. you can always buy another one later.years ago you may have hadto spend alot to get a good shooting m/l. but that's far from the case now. these cva's really shoot good i may even use mine in the regular rifle season. from what i have seen the more you spend the prettier the gun. i don't need another pretty gun i want one that shoots good. i have a tradtions i that i paid around $200.00 for and i also have a t/c that i paid over $400.00 for and guess what i use the cheap wolf because it shoots the best.
