RE: which gun to buy?
I ordered a CVA Optima Elite Stainless from Dicks a couple weeks ago for $389. I wanted the camo stock but they had none in the warehouse. For less than a hundred more for a stainless Bergarra barrel, I couldn't resist. It's also a longer 28" barrel which means it's heavier, but you won't need to burn as much powder to get the same velocity as a shorter barrel.
