My brother just bought the CVA Optima Elite and when we went to sight it in a couple of weeks ago the first bullet went down the just fine... all the way like it was suposed to but each following bullet would not go as far as the previous one. Finally it got to be about 4-5 inches from whereit was supossed to be.We swabbed between each shot but it seamed to not matter. After about 5 shots we removed the breach plug and ran the brush down the barrel and could not seem to remove the fouling where the powder ignites. It seems that that is where the bullett is stopping now. I can't push it in any fruther with my hands. however if I have something to hit my ramrod withI can make it go all the way down but I don't want to have to do that. Even after a through cleaning the bullet still stops about 4-5 inches from where it should. I have a regular CVA Optima and have never had this problem.

Our other issue with this gun my be a direct result of the first issue but there seams to be no rhyme or reason to the shot patterns. It will put to shots togather high and right then the next will be low then the next high and left ... You just never know where it will hit. There is no point in adjusting the scope because you neverknow where your next shot will go.what could be the deal there?

Any help would be appreciated

Thanks,
