CVA's Great American Shootout
 

I was looking at the CVA website . They have a section that is titled the Great American Shootout. They compare features of CVA with T/C guns. For example they show the Omega and the Kodiak pro, the Triumph and the Accura etc. They call it the Great American Shoot out. But since only the T/C's are American wouldn't a more accurate title be The Great Spanish -American Shoot out?:biggrin::biggrin:

probably but hey, they are the #1 selling muzzleloader in America.

Dats a fact Jack:cool2:
.

i dont like how they just compare it to the regular encore...the pro hunter or endeavor wouldnt make the apex look as good as it does vs the regular encore...the apex looks interesting though...looks like a sweet shooter...

That shows a lot of people buy the lowest priced item.

I sure don't mind paying a little more to have americans make my firearms...karl

CVA uses solid stocks, therefore eliminating $300 worth of extra fanvy named rubber inserts that the endeavor / pro hunter charges you for.


I see the Accura with the Apex's speed plug in the next year or 2. Wont that be sweet?!

Don't get me wrong, CVA makes a decent gun for the money but they just don't compare to a TC. My first ML was a TC and I've had it 15 years and it will still shoot with the best of em.

"CVA makes a decent gun for the money but they just don't compare to a TC"

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

The only thing that impressed me enough to buy a TC was interchangeable barrels. The CVA is consistant and from the way I heard it, the barrels are the only thing with a foreign heritage, I even read that they are made for CVA (copied from the spanish version) at the CVA factory...I may be wrong, but for the price and stoutness...my CVA will be the only Muzzy I will shoot, unless I have the thousands to by a TC and a few extra caliber barrels to interchange. Only sharing my opinion

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.

do you remember the bobcat..... it never went off, but i do love my optima

my first gun was a TC Black Diamond lasted about a month got rid of it and I have been a CVA shooter for the last 10 years:hail:

-There's pieces on shrapnel still in my shoulder from one some was shooting on the line in competition back in th 70's. So I always have some of one close. Lee

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!
