I have a CVA Hunterbolt Mag. with the 26" barrel, and have never had a failure or misfire, and it shoots way too accurately for the price I paid for it (around $160.00 at Wal-Mart). It has the blued barrel and the nice camo synthetic stock, and after I put a bushnell 3-9X40 scope on it I can punch a cloverleaf group at 50 yds.! One of My best firearms deals, as of late!
