Last year, I got this CVA Optima V2 pistol in order to handgun hunt during muzzleloader season:


At the time, I thought it would be a 30-50 yard maximum gun, so I put my old Nikon 2x20mm scope on it. After testing it a few times, I realized too late it performed too well for a simple 2x scope. On top of that, the big buck I was after walked out a little over 100 yards away.

For this season, I decided to upgrade to the Nikon 2.5-8x28mm variable model. I placed an order through Cabela's for a scope and set of Warne rings on Saturday, and it arrived today. I quickly got it installed and leveled:


My bullets and sabots from Midway should be coming in tomorrow. Can't wait to sight it in this weekend.
