I have a .45 CVA MagBolt that was one of the cheaper models out a year or two ago. The main PITA is that its hard to find .45 bullets around here, so I stock up when I can. I was out today and got a nice 10 pointer with my CVA at 50-60 yards. He ran 25 yards and dropped in his tracks. So personally, I love my CVA and don't see a need in spending a super amount on a T/C. You'll get tons of responses though. The one thing I can say is, get a .50 so its easier to find supplies.
