High price does not always mean you'll get better accuracy! Im shooting a $60 cva that is printing less than 1" groups @ 75 yards with the cheap plastic sights.
$300 winchester x150 thats shooting UNDER 1" groups with open sights.
$175 deer creek .45 thats shooting under 1" groups @100 with open sights.

High price rifle pretty much means they need to pay off the equipment and tv ad's and then they'll drop the price 2-3 years down the road.

cva kodiak you can pick up for around $170-180
cva optima is around $180
cva optima pro is a hair over $200.

You're pretty much just looking for a rifle to get you started and last a while. 2-3 weekends a year is very little shooting.

All those rifles are good shooters and come with a lifetime warranty.
