I guess I was mistaken. I thought that CVA always wore the Bergera barrels(in the last ten years or so). I realize CVA is a trade name, and not a mfr. So it would be appropriate that Bergera and CVA are different companies. I do understand that. Personally I do not own any of the current Bergera barrels so it would be inappropriate for me to comment on their accuracy. I really was talking about my prior opinions of CVA products. And I may have inappropriately connected the two at the hip.

I did personally sell TC products on the wholesale level for many years. I also sold CVA products on the wholesale level. My company carried by both products. So my actual experience was with the amount ofv CVA product I had to return vs. the amount of TC product I had to return. This time period was in the 80's thru early 90's. And honestly I returned 10 to 1 CVA over TC. But in fairness I also sold considerably more CVA product because of the price. So that is where I developed the prior track record opinion.

Also the fact that I could call TC CS and they would replace a product on my word. At times I did not even need to send a product back. Whereas with CVA it was more troublesome. And also the fact that I sold alot of Charles Daly which was supplied to us through CVA, but produced overseas.

In my honest opinion if TC products shot just over 1 MOA and Bergera shot just under 1 MOA. I would still go with the TC products. First because personally I do believe TC CS is better. And second it is an American made product.

However in the past I have not had a problem attaining 1MOA with my TC factory barrels. Albeit with a little work, but none the less.

I also guess it is alot cheaper for me to shoot an MZ because I cast all my own bullets. So for me cost of projectiles is not important. But I do respect what you say about people who have to buy them. But then 1-1/2 hours of elbow grease and a few brushes and a jar of JB will solve most problems. Tom.
