Good luck! Make sure you post a report on how the BH209 breech plug works. Haven't heard much about them yet.

Good deal. I bought the same gun.

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.

Wind Drift, do you like the thumbhole stock? I bought one 3 years ago for my wife to hunt with and I'm not to fond of it while hunting. I admit it is nice shooting off the bench.
