Question on CVA Optima accuracy
I shoot a CVA Optima and it shoots good groups (1.25" - 1.75") out to 65 yards. At 75 yards it barely groups tight enough to place the bullet through the vitals of a deer and at 100 yards it shoots 12 to 14 inch groups on a good day. I do a lot of rifle shooting and I know it's not me. These shots are taken off a bench using a 1X TC scope and the barrel is cleaned between every shot. I use 2 Triple 7 pellets (100 grains) of powder and use both .50 caliber 295 grain Powerbelt Aerotip bullets and .50 caliber 350 grain Hornady FPB bullets. Both shoot exactly the same groups. Is any other Optima shooter experiencing the same thing? If you are experiencing better accuracy, what powder / bullet combo are you shooting with your Optima? If this is the best accuracy I can expect from my Optima I'll either have to upgrade or limit my shots to under 70 yards.
