ORIGINAL: OhioHunter222

how about a cva kodiak or a cva wolf those are two of the ones i like
I would think they are both fairly comperable. The Kodiak I think is a little higher end CVA offering, but the Wolf seems like decent little rifle. I am not personally a CVA fan as I am not fond of their overall quality, fitment and finish. But if cared for and not misused, they should provide very good service.

Of the two you mentioned I would go with the one that handles, feels and shoulders the best to you. Regardless of what model youend up with.

You are the one that will be carrying and shooting the ML, so you might as well get something you like and are comfortable with. If possible, try to find one with a smoother trigger as some of them (Kodiak and Wolf)that I have looked at are a bit rough and heavy trigger-wise.

As mentioned, read, understandand followyour manual very carefully andask questions if you are not sure.

Good Luck!

I use a .50 CVA inline Stag Horn Magnum with a nickel barrel. It was the low end and I'm not even sure they make it anymore. I'll admit the stock seems cheesy and the safety design is horrible but the accuracy is there out to 100 yards with 2 50 gr 777 pellets and a 295 gr Powerbelt.

If it's possible pick it up and shoulder it (not sure if you're doing it mail order). Then imagine the clothes you'll be wearing when you're in the field and makes sure the stock isn't going to get hung-up in your jacket.

Tons of fun as long as you keep it clean and follow the directions on the use and safe handling.

Would I use a more expensive and user friendly gun if I could afford it? Sure, but I'm happy with what I have. Plus we can't shoot hinged muzzy's during muzzy season in MA.

Just my 2 cents.
