Default Got an Optima

Picked this up a few days in a trade. Depending how well it shoots, I'll more than likely be robbing the scope off the omega and selling the TC.

Didnt come with any sights but an email to CVA took care of that free of charge.

.50cal Optima,


Dave, At a later time, If you would like to try the Optima out just let me know and you are more than welcome to shoot her for a while before buying your own.

Looks like it will be a fun rifle to play with.

FG -I had one - the only inline I ever owned - and you will be happy to know that it shot 295 gr Powerbelts really well.

Good! I've wanted one for a while but sometimes being patient and waiting pays off.
