Hello fellas, Long time reader first time poster and this seems to be one of the top info sites there is. I am planning on buying a new muzzleloader in April, and I was wondering whats the opinions on the CVA Optima Pro and the Traditions Pursuit Pro? The price between the two is very comparable, I have held them both and the sights on both came in line very easily when raising them to my face(haven't decided if I will put a scope on or not). I really like the weight and stock shape/designof the CVA(It seemed to have more weight which I like) I like the hinge release on the traditions more becasue when I closed the CVA the release trigger hit my fingers. So thats where I am at right now I am leaning towards the CVA mind you I have not shot either so thats a question in the back of my mind. So any info on both please let me have it. The one thing I would not like is brand bashing if you know what I mean, just the hard facts as you know them. Thanks guys.
