Finally got to shoot my New CVA Accura I purchased last December. Mounted and Boresighted a Nikon Buckmaster 3x9x40. For a load I was using two IMR White Hots pellets with the new Barnes TEZ 250gr, Winchester 209 primers. I used the MMP HPH-24 sabot instead of the supplied Blue sabot that came with the package. My first two shots at 50yds grouped together at two inches high and two inches to the left. After a scope adjustment I moved out to a hundred yds. My next three rounds were all touching an inch left of the bullseye measuring in a 7/8 of an inch group. Four clicks to the right and my next shot was dead center in the Bull. This was on a 85 degree day so I was very happy with the way the Accura performed. I was also impressed with the White Hots, they seemed to be consistent with no big stinky cloud of smoke either. I do plan on playing around with some different powders but it was sure nice to find a winning combination first time out.

Aw fusion, that's too bad. A 7/8" group at 100 yards with shots 3, 4 and 5 from a new gun. You didn't even get to have the fun of spending two paychecks on different powder, bullets and sabots and shooting fifty rounds to get your first decent group. Where's the fun in that. 

Congratulations. Looks like you've got a good one. I don't think I've seen a complaint about the Accura yet.
