I have checked out most of the inline ml on the market and all of them have there pros and cons. It all boils down to how the rifle fits you, areyou sure it will do what you want it to, and does it fall into your budget if the answer is yes go for it.
The only (Recall) Im aware of is for some 1995 and 1996 model CVA MLers, back befor BPI (Black Powder Industries) bought out CVA. Yes back then there were problems with CVA's, but since BPI has aquired CVA there MLers have came a-long way.
And now most CVA MLers have a (Bergara Barrel) and I have never heard of a Bergara Barrel blowing up, they are not made of SOFT Metal like the above repot says.
Randy Wakeman has never liked CVA and he just seems to never go away with his &^$%#@$!
If Im wrong about another CVA Recall please show it to me. And if it takes another 15 years for CVA to make there MLers as good as TC I must be really missing something, I thought they were almost there.
