Well I have finally made the decision and I said I would let you guys know what I decided to buy. I was considering a cva optima pro, traditions pursuit pro, and a TC encore. This is going to be my first bp gun so I was not sure what kind of money I should spend. I talked to a few dealers around my area and they were recommending CVA. I have decided to go with the encore. I have had estimates from $750.00 to $900.00 on the encore and I finally got a price from a dealer for $679.00. My neighbor has one and he spent $850.00 one year ago. Now I can't wait for it to get here. I will be looking for the best loads in the near future. Thank you to all who gave me some knowledge in my last post on which bp to buy.
