The Knight Rolling Block has got some excellent reviews. Also its hard to beat an Omega. The Triumph has also been getting some real good range reports. If you want to invest in a high quality rifle, then I too would suggest the Knight or Thompson Center lines.

Although there are a lot of Optima, Kodiak, Winchester, Wolf, and Pursuit Pro shooters that swear by their rifles and the quality of them. But you are back to the Spanish barrels that you are not comfortable with. I can understand your position, although like I said.. there are a lot of satisfied BPI/CVA owners out there.
