However, punching the x-ring at 100yds is a chip shot, easily completed by just about any modern inline made today, with the right shooter on the trigger.
The last TC and all previous Encore platform rifles I owned, which were many, ALL shot less than moa with the factory barrel at 200yds.
Agree with most all of that. CVA just happens to do it just as well and more affordably than most. No harm in that is there?
As far as your low quality statement, I disagree there. My Nitride-coated Bergara made barrel is guaranteed against rust pitting for the life of the gun. Any of their competitors stand behind their product the same?
As I stated earlier, my needs are to accurately and reliably shoot at a target at 250 yards or less, and have the least issues with cleaning, loading, corrosion, while having minimal weight to haul around the woods. CVA checked all those boxes.
