RE: CVA Optima
Garminator I own the one with the 26inch barrel. It seems a few people like to put these particular guns down. I've shot severel deer and an elk last year that scored 340 with this gun. I own an omega and it shoots good but I would put my optima against any day for accuracy. I like the fact that it has a solid stock unlike the omega. Stay between 80 to 100grns of whatever powder you want to shoot and I think you will be very happy with the gun IMO.
