Just saying.

This old carpenter sees a definite advantage to a lighter rifle. The things i did with my body have resulted in permanent wear, and break down. Carrying a heavy rifle brings me all kinda suffering. This month i have been packing a light rifle without a scope. The pain i feel at the end of a hunt is much reduced. One thing i noticed is i don't feel the need to switch shoulders back and forth all day, to relieve pain.

Instead of hitting the gym, my suggestion is hit the range, and practice shooting them light rifle in similar conditions as would be hunting.

My suspicion about this CVA rifle, is it will be priced high end, thus i won't be interested. It is impossible for me to get past the silly belief, a foreign made rifle should be less expensive than one made in USA.

yes that certainly is silly. Quality is never cheap IMO.

Actually if you think about it, $600 "CVA's price, not store price" isn't bad considering it actually has a real stainless barrel. All of the other companies that offer any type coating use a carbon barrel and just give it a silver paint job to mimick SS but charge up the butt like it were true SS.

I'd imagine the true price will be in the low $500 range at the stores.

When i get one you're more than welcome to give it a try after i molest it for a bit LOL.

Looks nice, wonder what TC and Knight will have for 2012 or when all the new line ups of Muzzle loaders will be out for the rest of us to see.

I am wondering where they achieved the weight savings. What does 2" of Accura barrel weigh? That coupled with a partially hollowed out stock may be the answer. The original Accura was never as heavy as the weight indicated by CVA, I think they included the sling and everything else in the box in their weight figure.

I never saw anything to indicate caliber seclection so it will probably only be available in .50 - or did I miss something, FG? I was a little surprised to see the 2012 standard V2 Accuras still have the same old stock as always - only this particular one has the Apex-like stock.
