The whole issue here has nothing to do with whichbrand of rifleis better. All we are reading are opinions. I repeat ... OPINIONS. And while one person might like a CVA and another not, that is their OPINION. For what ever reason they hold them. Some might feel Thompson Center are better then other rifles, others Savage, or CVA. And again, all opinions. Granted many opinions are based on facts. But it is how you interpret these fact you are presented with. Also what you interpret as qualitycan make a big difference.

A good case and point. We have all read Chuck Hawks, and Randy Wakeman's warnings of Spanish barrels. These muzzle loading individuals are well respected by many in their field. Not so well respected by others. Just their opinions. But the point is, if these Spanish barrels are so dangerous, why do thousands ignore the warning and shoot them? Well in their opinion I guess they do not believe what is being told them.

I own CVA, Traditions, Remington, White, Thompson Center, Knight, and Lyman rifles. I've owned and shot all of these rifles,for years. When I purchase a $89.00 CVA Staghorn and the finish is not that found on my $300.00+ Knight, or Thompson Centers. To even think they should be the same,that would be foolish. To get the price down, corners have to be cut. Yet my $89.00 CVA has had a I would guess around 500+ rounds (probably more) shot through it. It is super accurate and functions perfect.

Of all my inline rifles, if you want to get down to fit and finish, quality construction, functionality, dependability in the field, accuracy, and versatility it has to be my Whites. Their draw back.. the company folded. Thank goodness there are parts out there and a child could fix one. Handle one, you will understand what I mean. Shoot one and you will be sold. But this is my OPINION. You might disagree.

Last week I had a chance to handle a CVA Accura. Man let me tell you. That thing is sweet. I can see why CVA came out with it. It will compete with any rifle out there. It it shot as nice as it looks and handles. They have a winner there.

I've handled Savages, and again I was very impressed. Just a fine quality rifle. So what did I purchase.. A Remington Genesis. Why? It fit my needs. Low prices, quality construction, innovative design, and so far excellent out of the box accuracy. It was $162.00. How many Savages, Thompson Centers and Knight can I purchase new in the box for that? Do I compare them to the others. No way. I know what I bought, and I am happy with what I own.

So I suggest to all, bickering about who has the best what will do no good. You purchased what you did for your own reasons. It works for you. And whether someone else likes it or not, who cares. Be happy with what you decided on and let the others be happy with theirs.
