Well, I'm now the proud new owner of a CVA Optima .50 cal. Went by the shop to look at it again, and lo and behold, daddy was in there. The guy was mounting my Nikon Pro Staff 3-9x40 on it when I walked in. Daddy was a little disappointed I ruined his surprise but oh well. I honestly was shocked. He (daddy) had some extra work fall through, but he said he really wanted me to have it. BTW, my "little" 17 year old bro. chipped in some $$ on it too! I'm not sure if it's the Optima Pro or not, but it has the nickel fluted barrel and is camo. It's beautiful!!!!!

I am so blessed!!!!!!!!

Thanks for all the input guys! Also, he got me some 777 pellets and 250 grn TC Shockwaves. And some other little "goodies"! [8D]
