I love My ACCURA "1st Geberation" 28" Stainless Bergara Barrel, I've taken Deer out to 178yds and went clean through, Very Accurate. Is the Optima the older style or newer style with the Quick Release Breech Plug? Does it have a Bergara Barrel? I'm not into Thumb Hole Stocks, it's a personal preference what ever You like. Is the Stock Camo?
All I own are CVA's I have 5 and each one shoots as good as the one behind it. I'd need to know more about the Optima your talking about before I'd give My opinion.
