"If they don't like CVA's, then they haven't owned one"
Wrong, I had 3, two pistols and a rifle, the steel in the actions was butter soft they were imported junk, now I have heard they do better now, but once burnt twice shy.

Maybe the Yanks are buying all the CVA's. 
On a serious note. Even though the CVA gun is made in Spain. CVA is an American based company. CVA stands for Connecticut Valley Arms. They're now based in Georgia. To buy the guns in Spain they might have to be shipped from Georgia.

American based?...Hardly, Dikar S Coop is based in Spain and owns Bergara, BPI CVA, Quake and PowerBelt. Is anything on the rifle even made in the USA or is it even assembled here?

BPI is based in Georgia so it makes perfect sense they want to consolidate as many branches at the same location as possible.
Bergara sold the Apex in Spain but its not called an Apex. Oddly i do not see a single mention of a ML barrel for the Bergara branded "Apex". So they could simply apply other branding to any ML they wish since Dikar owns both brands. They did it on the Apex.

they offer many fancier models in spain. Bergara and their ML brands actually are available with fancy wood stocks and everything. They know what they can market and what folks will pay for there VS in the USA.
Ardesa really makes some drop dead gorgeous stuff for european sales, but the price tag makes your cheeks pucker.

MD that still make no sense. Why does the "Just a Better Gun" / "Number one seller" have virtually no ML market share in Spain? Pedersolli has larger market share. I can find Ardesa models similar to Traditions sold here in Spain without hardly any problem.
It took me 2 seconds to find an Ardesa Strikefire. http://www.armeriatrelles.com/tienda...roller=product
The wood on some of them was simulated wood.
Bergara sells lots of the same rifles here as they sell in Spain. They just dont seem to offer a single ML. Not even a ML barrel for the "Apex"?
Please post a link to a CVA/Bergara ML at a retail outlet in Spain. Ive asked this before and not a single person has ever been able to do it.

Right and left handed stock in black, wood color camo and orange. Also with thumbhole stock in black or camo Realtree Xtra Green.

Bottom line. What does it matter?
