I made the mistake of buying a CVA. The gun had decent accuracy, any inconsistency was more likely from my Tasco scope. But the parts and quality of the whole CVA gun was horibble. I should have bought a T/C to begon with, instead I wasted $200 before spending a lot more for my Encore, which is truly a awesome gun. Save yourself headaches and save up for a Knight or T/C, the frustration I had wasnt worth putting up with.
