The answer to half of your question is available on the CVA webpage. All CVA barrels are now made from the same high-grade 416 stainless stock, all made in the same Bergara factory, on the same Bergara machinery.
If Bergara barrels are what some consider to be "inferior steels", then I guess I'm ok with inferior.
As I pointed out before, some folks are clinging on to the CVA barrel issues from 20 years ago before BPI bought Bergara.
