Many people pin CVA as a brand for newbies and rookies. People say that its only a good starter gun for someone who dosent know what they are doing.

I bought mine three seasons ago when I was starting out and find that its very reliable and shoots in accurate patterns when I am range shooting and accurate when hunting with it.

I have plans to buy another gun in the future but that will be just for fun, not because it isnt good enough or fun to shoot.
