OK, I guess I've decided!

I just got back from a lunchtime break at Bass Pro Shop, they just got in 1 (and ONLY 1) CVA Accura 2 Stainless with a Camo thumbhole stock in stock.

I held the TC Triumph side by side with the CVA Accura V2 and here is my opinions:

1. CVA has a full stainless barrell (BIG WIN)
2. CVA has a hammer spur extender, helps during late season
3. HATE the TC re-locking mechanizm to close the barrel, while the CVA opens and closes just like my TC Encore
4. CVA holds better for me as the forearm is thinner and not as wide along the base as the Triumph
5. CVA has a crisper and I believe lighter trigger
6. And I plan on using it to hunt Elk in CO (open sights) and the CVA throws up better than the Triumph. You can tell the TC was designed to use a scope.
7. I was also afraid the CVA weighed a lot more than the Triumph but honestly I could feel no difference in the 2.

So even though I have a TC Encore 209x45 and .22-250 in the safe it is a NEW CVA for me.

Now I'll take it to the range and HOPE I don't have any regrets, but for now I'm sold on this new gun.


For all the TC fans out there, don't mis read a thing. My 209x45 and 22-250 Encore are tack drivers and will not be leaving my safe anytime soon. (See attached 100yd 109x45 and 200yd .22-250 targets for proof)


But these two guns side by side I say the CVA Accura V2 beats the TC Triumph, but the range will tell the tale.

Stay tuned.
