Jeramie Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 A buddy of mine has been shopping for a ML. He is very new to hunting. He is literally late 30's and still has yet to kill a deer. He grew up without a dad and im his mentor. He ran across a buy at walmart for a CVA wolf (mag) for $129. It is a break over and looks a lot like the Optima. I thought he looked at the price wrong so today while I was picking up plot stuff I looked at the ML'ers. Sure enough. CVA has a break over that looks just like the Optima for $129.99. Anyone have any input on these? I know there are some that are less then CVA fans but this guy literally has one ML, A bobcat, I gave him last year. This would be a huge step for him... What do you think? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
oo_buck Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Re: CVA Wolf? Haven't heard anything on the "wolf" yet.... I have a CVA MagBolt......paid $129.00 at BassPro..... I am very happy with it.... On another note: You as a mentor...........wow.. Did you ever get the H&R ML you were checkin' on? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Actually I bought the CVA Optima for $100. It was to clean to pass up for that price. Im still leaning toward the H&R. I want to buy a .223 and then add the ML barrel. Im thinking about getting the Rifle for Christmas. The ML barrel will be added next year and the $100 Optima will just be another in my effort to own every firearm ever made....

oo_buck Posted August 17, 2005 Report Share Posted August 17, 2005 Re: CVA Wolf? I like the way you think...... How is the Optima treating you? My next ML will probably be an Optima. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest NemadjiJim Posted August 18, 2005 Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Re: CVA Wolf? I just bought the Kodiak after a lot of research. It is nice and light and the primer is protected from the elements. One thing that steered me away from the cheaper CVA's was the stock is hollow and if a branch or anything scrapes it it will make a lot of noise. This is my first ML and I have only put a few rounds through but I like what I see so far. Another thing is the easy of cleaning the Kodiak. Good luck with whatever he buys.

Jeramie Posted August 18, 2005 Author Report Share Posted August 18, 2005 Re: CVA Wolf? I love the optima. I havent shot it yet, Im waiting to spend some coin on a cheap scope and mounts. All ive done is clean it and show it to all my friends. When I bought it I really wanted the nickle plated but again, for $100 bill im not going to be picky..
