I have a CVA Kodiak and also a T/C BMMAG and Omega. I do hunt with both T/C and CVA and I do like theCVA. It shoots great and has been reliable in all weahter that I have exposed it to. T/C is a better made firearm undoubtly, but I would be getting along just fine with only a CVA. CS is good at CVA, they will get back to you quickly, T/C does not have the best customer service - they will talk to you, but to get what you need seems to take more tries than are needed. This is something that big-brother is re-engineering at T/C now and I hope they can do it.
