I had a very ealy specimen of the CVA Optima and found it disappointing, to say the least. The model has apparently evolved in the time since and I would expect today's Optima to be a better rifle. I've had limited experience shooting CVA rifles but must say the couple that I have shot seemed solid enough but showed poor fit and finish. Paying more for a rifle won't automatically get you a better one, but it sometimes increases the odds.
To heck with all that!! I want to see a KP1.
