Check out my posts on Comments for CVA Wolf. And check your local Wally Worlds. I found my Wolf in Petersburg, Va for only $54.00. You may have to ask someone if they still have any in the back which is what I did. You never know what you might snag. Anyway, I was going to get the Optima but it wasn't in the boxand Iended up with the Wolf. Itshoulders pretty good and I'm looking forward to shooting it this week since I'm onvacation to finish up bowhunting at Fort Pickett. Will probably shoot some during lunch. I think either one would be good and probably the Optima might have longer range due to longer barrel but I sure do like the smaller good handling Wolf,too. Good luck.
