RE: CVA Buckhorn
I shoot a CVA Staghorn Magnum which is the same as the Buckhorn Magnum. The difference is the Buckhorn has two locking lugs and the stock is more shooter friendly.
While the Buckhorn Magnum is an open breech rifle, I sure would not let that spook me. They are so simple in design that there is little to go wrong with them. They are also very easy to clean and maintain. I was shooting my Staghorn today in fact and it is always a pleasure to shoot them.
Wal Mart has the Buckhorns and I wonder what price they will drop to at their end of the season sale. Now I need another rifle like I need another hole in the head, but if they come on sale I might get one. They really are a fun rifle to shoot. Simple in design. If they are like my Staghorn, they are accurate with a number of different projectiles.
