cva optima pro . (NewJerseyHunter.com)

Lord make me fast and accurate,
May my draw be smooth and unseen
Let my aim be straight and my shot true,

Grant me the skill to make the shots I can,
The restraint to avoid those I can't,
And the wisdom to know the difference,

So that I may be blessed with the bounty you provide

i just bought the cva optima magnum about a year ago and love it. highly accurate dropped a buck at 90 yards chasing a doe. and my brother just bought a cva accura about 2 months ago. he likes it. it seems like a very nice gun. shot a doe straight out of the package

I just bought a CVA Wolf I just got it I have not even put the scope on it. I cant wait to shoot it I hope its accurate as my T/C Thunderhawk. I wanted the break open action with a 209 primer thats why I picked up a CVA Wolf. __________________ I just want to Hunt...

I have the CVA Optima Pro in stainless steel with the camo thumhole stock. I have the .50 cal muzzy barrel and a 30.06 rifle barrel. Very nice & versatile gun for the money, and very accurate. __________________ Sometimes you're the windshield . . . sometimes you're the bug

I have the optima .209. I use the Barnes Expanders in 248 grains with 100 grains of 777. It's accurate out to about 125 yds-but not as accurate as I would like. Here's what is I like about it very inexpensive, under $200.00, and very easy to clean-simply break the action, pull the breach plug, and wipe. Here's what I don't like. Ramrod is a little flimsy and had to be replaced two times-now I have an all aluminum one. Using 150 grains of powder(as it is rated for that) created a lot of scope creap-scope would slide in 1/16ths of an inch on the shot--forced me to drop to 100 grains of powder. No matter what round I try, I can't get it to pattern any better than a 4" group at 125 yds. I expected more accuracy out of rifle. My 870 with slug barrel groups 2" at 200 yds! All and All its a good inexpensive muzzy for NJ hunting-but I will not take mine out of state or anywhere when I expect to shoot over 100 yds. __________________ Lord make me fast and accurate, May my draw be smooth and unseen Let my aim be straight and my shot true, Grant me the skill to make the shots I can, The restraint to avoid those I can't, And the wisdom to know the difference, So that I may be blessed with the bounty you provide Amen The NJH Bow Hunters Prayer
