RE: which CVA?
Well, scrap the Apex from cabelas off the list. They sold out of them again. Suckers sell like hot cakes.
One more cva that would be a great product is the cva optima ELITE. you can change from a muzzleloader barrel, shotgun to a centerfire rifle barrel. Low $300 range and barrels sell for $150-175 depending on what you want.
but between the kodiak and wolf, i'd spend the 40-50$ more and buy the cva optima with the longer barrel.
