CVA vs TC

[OkieKubota]

TC made a firehawk model. I don't believe CVA ever made a firehawk.

Firebolt - I apologize for the confusion...

I have a CVA wolf model. I like it but probably haven't fired it enough to be an expert on its accuracy. I shot a few groups when I first got it. I have carried it during the muzzy season, but have never taken a good aimed shot at deer with it. I always intend to take some time in the spring\summer with it at the range but havent yet. Maybe this year :oops:

For better or for worse I got this guy. $239 on sale. Not bad. I am putting a Nikon Inline ML scope on it.

I bought a CVA wolf back In 09 been happy with it

I went in to buy TC but left with the wolf and a Walter P 22 about the same cost back then

TC Encore with a Nikon BDC scope. I am very comfortable out to 200 yards with it.

I am sure the $300 difference is materials, machining specs and tolerances. I doubt that TC believes it can an extra $300 just on name recognition, and CVA is 1/2 the price because of mftg shortcuts, materials, or less stringent machining specs.

Spend as much as you can on the scope. Better glass, better low light transmission at critical times.

I got the same scope as you I think which I think will be a good one. Nikon Inline scope.
