You need to check out a couple of more recent CVA models. They more than compare.

IMO, the time is soon coming, when the CVA Apex will be the new standard - to compare other like models too.....

With the Apex, CVA will be back in the Top Quality, Driver's Seat...

"Back" in the top quality driver's seat. In the past They've been anything but top quality . It's only been recently that they have been improving in that area,

not really, they've had very good quality rifles for an affordable price. That optima i had would do the same groups that my accura does, but with powerbelts. Heck my brothers 1987 cva hawken is still in perfect working order and the original barrel is still printing 2" groups @ 100 with Patched ball.

Very true Chet, I stand corrected.

CVA has indeed made the up-hill climb to top quality in the Accura and Apex.

Correct me if I am wrong but haven't I read a few articles of the CVA "blowing up"? I don't want to start a debate or "Bash" CVA but before I purchased a CVA I would be doing some reading and make an informed decision, (just say'in) Doc

CVA is now putting Bergara barrels on several of their rifle models. The Bergara barrels are about as good as it gets.

Much of what you read that is negative about CVA rifles was/is pushed by one person.

I wouldn't advocate anyone buy a rifle that I felt was remotely dangerous if used properly. I certainly recommend both the Accura and the Apex by CVA.

I been shooting cva guns for 10yrs now, i never had a problem out of them! I know that my uncle and a friend both bought t/c and paid twice as much as my cva, needless to say they both sold the t/c and bought cva after they saw what they could do!
