I have the same gun and shoots great out of the box. I just bought a second CVA today which is the Accura and I cannot wait to get to the range tomorrow to shoot it. Here in Wisconsin during gun season you can use a Muzzle loader with a scope which is on my Optima and during Muzzle Loader season you can not use a scope so that is what the Accura is going to be used for. Great gun IMO. Have fun with it and good luck.
