I bought a CVA Mountain Stalker last september and the rifle has behaved flawless. It shoots patched roundballs with amazing accuracy (deer found that out already). It was a .54 caliber and was being sold at Bass Pro Shop for $40.00 (they are all gone or I would get another one).

I have also looked at the Eclipse made by CVA at Bass Pro Shop. They are on sale also right now. I think for the money, CVA are a great gun. Granted they are not a Knight, White, T/C, etc. but they are not in that money range as some of them also.

If I were to get an in-line it would have to be a .50 caliber (no one sells the .54 calibers anymore>> do they?) with a 1-28 twist and shooting the 209 caps. With this caliber you get the most options on projectiles and etc. Throw a scope on it, and you got a great long range rifle there.
