If the rifle does indeed shoot as bad as you claim,you need to send it back to T/C and have them check it out.the problems your having are exactly why i bought the T/C triumph after researching T/C rifles on the internet, the Omega got great reviews also. i was out shooting yesterday afternoon using .250 gr sst,.250 gr barnes TEZ,.260 gr -.300 gr PT golds.with 3 kinds of sabots for best fit and accuracy.( harvester crushed rib,harvester smooth, MMP-24) all the bullets were extremely accurate from the rifle and were shot with 105-110 gr BH209.the first thing you need to do with any T/C barrel is to use some J/B/oil which cleans the crap they use in there barrels and smooths it out, 50 strokes minimum. then find good fitting bullet to sabot combos with 90-120 gr loads.if you still can't get it to shoot, be sure your scope is not the culprit, if your using one. if none of the above works. SEND IT BACK TO T/C.

you cant go wrong with the v2 or the optima.
the V2 will have a 1" longer barrel, a triggers thats around 1/2lb lighter.
I own both but like my Optimas better due to the better shaped stock that displaces recoil better and doesnt have no where near the jump that the v2 has.

Okay... so after reading this string of posts... I stated to a buddy of mine the other night that all CVA's used Bergara barrels... he said BS... I've looked at the CVA catalogue and there is no mention of them being used except on the V2 and the Optima Elite... I've dropped a email to both CVA and Bergara as well but havent gotten a responce yet... Where do ya'll get your info that all CVA's use Bergara's?

They only stamp Bergara on the Accura barrel, because they need a reason to charge more for that model. It's much easier and cheaper to use the same barrel for all the guns. The Accura barrel has a little more polishing that the Optima barrel. Bergara has different grades, but they still make them all. Your buddy is blowing smoke and guessing.
Did you know the TC Impact uses an Omega barrel?

The parent company owns Bergara and CVA.

I totally agree with this statement...
i will never understand why the bergara name isn't on everyone of the barrels they make. as far as T/C barrels are concerned, there name is on the barrels of all there models, even the inexpensive impact..
SO, I'm not 100% sure I agree that Bergera barrels are on all CVA's.

Not sure why I have to find information for you when you can do it yourself. I call people if I want information.
You can also read their web site. Not hard to find.
