UC, I take it CVA made the Winchester Apex? I kinda thought they looked pretty much the same as the CVA Kodiak. I have a Kodiak and I was'nt all that Impressed with it, it shot good but I did'nt like the receiver and action set up. The action cant be disassembeled for cleaning and it's attached to the barrel and get's in the way when you clean the barrel. It was the last ML I shot 150gr's of Pyrodox Pellets from (mag-load). It actually handled the load pretty well, I used 204gr XTP Mag, Win W209 Primers and 3-50gr Pellets, and shot 2"groups at 100yds.
But after just 2 Seasons and 2 Bucks I retired it for My New ACCURA's, it's still brand new looking but will most likely never be used again only if I need to loan it out for some reason.
