You remember I had one. Too finicky with conicals. It's all I can shoot here.

Very confusing.

I've sold all my guns except my GPR, and my Winchester 94 30-30 that my dad gave me in 1953. It's a wall hanger now.

I love the way the GPR looks, feels, and shoots. Very accurate, and easy to hold steady offhand. I went hunting for rabbits with it this morning, and saw a really nice buck. I got within 40yds of it, and it would have been in the freezer if it was ML season. It felt so right sneaking up on it with a Hawken style gun. I can't wait for next year.

I'll have to be content with rabbits, squirrels, and coyotes until the next big game season. By then, I should be able to shoot a gnat in the butt at 75yds with a PRB.

Just so you know. That's the only stock that CVA makes that's just made to use with a scope. Hopefully, that's what you're going to use. It's too high for open sights.

Muley, the best conical shooting rifles presently made happen to be knights and not CVA's and you can still buy new knights , that are not bolt actions..

Forgot about the conical thing. I just checked my X7 file and it turns out I've shot one, and only one target with conicals, and it was only at 50 yards. But it did pretty well.

powerbelts and thors shoot amazingly well out of a CVA. Remember guys, muley isnt going to be shooting a big heavy bullet, we shoot the Thors.

Not confusing at all, but I have no desire to explain anything to you. Nobody else is confused but you.

I know your new hobby is to make me look bad. So far, you aren't very good at your new hobby.

Well Muley,

You said a few days ago you found a really good deal on a scoped Optima, it may have been yesterday. Today you tell one poster you bought the same gun, Optima. Then in another thread today you say your undecided on the Optima or Accura?

And not long ago you were tricked by Randy Wakeman and said you would not recommend a CVA to anyone but you buy one or are buying one? You post so much you forget what you typed and think others do not remember?

I do not expect you to make up a reason, we can leave it as is.

Thats a nice target but one member on here might start calling you a forum bragger.
