Default CVA inline

I was at the gun shop today and found this CVA inline .50 for only $95 used. I dont really need an expensive ml because I only have a 4 day season. It seemed to be in decient shape. Would this be a good buy?

That would depend on the model of the rifle. Some of them were selling new for as little as $89.00. If this was an Optima on the other hand that would be a very good deal....

Bass-Pro had the CVA magbolt 150 kit (that is with all excessories) except powder for $199.98.
Rifles alone ; some for $98.00 Cabelas also has some for less than $100.00 , so be careful.check to see whick on and check the catologs first.good luck with the purchase and the season.

As with everyone else, check out the name, Take it from experiance, don't buy any companies bottom of the line product, you are playing with fire on that. I usually buy mid line or their top line.
The only in-line I own now is a Traditions Lightning 45 caliber, the rest are cap lock.

Used and under $100 at a gun shop normally means look it over real careful as they want to get rid of it as quickly as possible.
I'd have the gunshop supply a borescope so you can see things in greater detail.
Also look at the muzzle and the breech plug area for wear and/or neglect.
If you see signs of rust and neglect, I would pass on this weapon unless you were looking for a parts gun.

If you are looking for something inexpensive, for an extra $50 you can usually find a new ML from Traditions, CVA and so on that will also get you into a lifetime warranty and some support.
