While, your question is certainly a good question you are not going to believe the miriad of answers you are probably going to generate....

Staying with the direct question.... Wolf or Kodiac in my mind it would be an easy choice the Kodiac.... I know that break action have worked for years in shot guns... but break actions do wear out, even the very best actions made for high dollar competition shot guns. So a CVA break action, of somewhat lesser quality than those most expensive shotgun actions is going to wear also. + I am an old guy guy - I beleive you have better accuracy from solid one piece gun.

Now here is one of the miriads.... of the CVA guns in their more modern line I would be more inclined to getting an Apex, CVA's copy of the Omega. There have been several people here pick up one of these guns from Cabelas and report very good things about them. I have to be honest in that I have not handled an Apex or a Kodiac in recent times to know if there is any difference in them other than the stock.

The only other thing I would caution you on if you were to buy a CVA is the barrel, not that it is weak or poor quality, but it's method of manufacturer. It is an extruded barrel, a barrel that is bored at the same time the barrel is being extruded. This often causes variations in the size of the bore in the length of the bore.... these variations are usually very slight and when shooting sabots usually do not cause a problem. Other barrels offered by many other companies are button bored from a blank and most often have less variations with in the barrel. What does this mean to me - not much in a hunting rifle, but if you are an accuracy nut like most of us are that may lead to some problems.

Good luck in your decision, but I am telling you when you get one and itshoots well for you - you will hooked - it really becomes infectious...
