OK time for a new rifle
 

Its that time of year again.
My choices so far,

CVA Optima nickle/black fleck .50
CVA Wolf blue/black .50
CVA Mountain rifle .54 percussion
CVA mountain Rifle .50 Percussion- American Barrel "Douglas"

I've also been looking at the cva mag bolt in .45 and 50cal. Also the Traditions E-bolt and a couple other models that are based off the E-bolt.

Sidelock.

Get the Mountain Rifle in 54. Is it the one on MM? I really liked the looks of that gun, but since I got the .45 I backed off on trying to trade for it. Good luck with whatever decision you make.

RE: OK time for a new rifle
 

My choice would be the .54 sidelock. But if you want a new experience and a fun shooter, try to find a .58 Zouave.

I was looking at one Semi, I just dont need another one of those stand on a chair to load, rifles. That .54 smooth i have right now is more than enough:D

Im going to really have to rake my brain on this one. I know i can get the wolf for only $80 at dicks sporting goods.

RE: OK time for a new rifle
 

You MUST get the CVA 45cal SS Accura :D;)



Then you must break it in, really love it, and then sell it for half price to a short bald guy in Nebraska:D

RE: OK time for a new rifle
 

No, not ready for the Accura yet.

So far its boiling down to a 45,50 mag bolt, TC hawken,Optima, 2 mountain rifles one in 50 and the other 54, Then there are a couple odd balls.

PS

Folks from Louisiana could never appriciate an Accura at half price like short bald Nebraskans:):D;)

lane, he should buy something get loads worked up for it and sale it to a 6' bald guy in VA:D

I'll vote for the 54 cal sidelock that way you can bust up more buckets

RE: OK time for a new rifle

Watch your mouth Lane, I've got appreciation I haven't even used yet. At least I don'thave snow on my chrome dome for six months out of the year, and the neat thing about being bald in Louisiana is the skeeters tend to slide off your head when you're sweating. :D

Gander,

I have the .45 CVA Magbolt. It took me awhile to get it dialed in - I free-floated the barrel and bedded the action with Acra-Glass. After that, it's been a great shooter with sabots (XTP's, SST's & PR bullets). Several different combos all shoot around 1.75" at 100 yards. Best group so far has been the SST's with a 1.25" group. I know you shoot Powerbelts mostly - I've only put about 18 PB's through it - all the 225 grain hollowpoints. One group with the PB's was really good - about 1.5", (70 grains FFG 777), but when I started using FFFG and messing around with the powder charges, they started flying all over the place - looked like Ray Charles was behind the gun;)
