RE: What do you think of the CVA Optima?
Johnny2 and Cayugad, Both excellant ideas except I havent been able to find a octagon barrel scope mount in many years. The other reason is just for what you said about the weight, his elbow has gotten artrithis in it that's bothering him. As far as the sights well I'm afraid I've spoiled him. I let him use my Encore with a thumbhole and Nikon scope to finish his deer off with and well it kinda spoiled him. He couldn't believe how he could see the buck in the crosshairs he said it just felt so goodto be able to see and it gave him alot of confidence.
