CVA used the rubber grip panels for better gripping in foul weather. Anyone that has both a V1 and V2 normally will tell you that the V2 feels better with the extra grip. I like my V2 better than my v1 due to just the grip panels. It really helps in cold weather.
My favorite bullet is the Thor. I love the fact that i can use an easy recoil 250gr bullet and go after elk without any worry. Cant do that with lead.
So what your saying is CVA didn't clone all these things they upgraded? lol ok upgraded to make there product better? what? MD your still not answering the questions.and if you read my post regarding lead bullets you will see i hunt with copper at the moment and practice with lead, to save a few bucks.i am sure the thor is a great bullet,especially since it starts out as a barnes lol.i use the barnes TEZ .250 gr myself.that may change here soon since i am going to try the 300 gr deep curls soon and depending on accuracy that may become my go to bullet.the B.C. on the 300 deep curl is excellent and at just .50 grs more than the .250 deep curl, it's sounds like a accurate long range capable bullet.my point is and always has been if you want lead why a PB? when there are a lot better lead bullets out there at far less cost.the barnes and the deep curls are very close in the terminal performance category.cost VS performance is a issue with myself and a lot of people that shoot M/L rifles. especially since all of our jobs have been shipped out of the country and so many people are out of work
head on down to the T/C plant where those people are losing there jobs and have this discussion! oh another question..is it legall to feed deer in colorado now?
