I've always been a dyed in the wool T/C fan but a while back my son convinced me to give the CVA Optima a try. I'll have to admit, CVA has come a long way in the last couple years. After shooting my son's Optima 209 I was convinced enough with his to buy myself an Optima. I was really impressed with his 209's accuracy and it carries and shoulders very nice as well. You can never have enough guns soooo, here's what joined the other rifles in our cabinet. Had I known the Accura was coming out I'd have waited though and bought it but I'm quite pleased with my Pro. The other two are my son's.

Optima Elite Compact .50/.243

Optima 209 .50

Optima Pro .50
