That's the first CVA Pennsylvania rifle that I've ever seen so I figure that it must
be an older discontinued model that didn't have a high sales volume.
The closest current production gun is the Traditions Pennsylvania rifle which is sold
by the Sportsman's Guide at a club member price of $655.
Depending on the exact specifications, age, condition and fit & finish of the CVA
Pennsylvania rifle, it could be worth $400 - $500, with a median price of ~ $450.
But that's just my guess.
The value depends on the selling venue, such as where and how it's sold. A private
local sale may not bring as much as on a gun auction site. Even then buyers can be
fickle and bargain hunters expect to pay less due to the extra shipping costs. Putting
it on consignment at a local gun shop could mean having to pay 15% in consigment
fees. Selling it at a live gun auction could mean less 20% or more of the value due to
the buyer premium fees, which could bring the net return for it below $400.
What did your dad pay the gun when it was new?
How old is it?
