Default 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.

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

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.

You MUST get the CVA 45cal SS Accura



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

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.
