cva optima pistol question

REVOLVERfan · March 27, 2017, 04:57 PM

So I bought my first muzzleloader a few months ago and I absolutely love it so I have an interest in buying one of the cva optima pistols but have a few questions. First off does anyone own one and how do you like it? Can you use two pellets of triple 7 or two pellets of white hots? Also what's a good scope for it? Handgun scope or red dot?

I have one. I get excellent results with two T7 pellets and TC Shockwave sabot bullets. I had a borrowed 4x pistol scope on it, which I gave back. It shoots well out to 100 yds with a scope. I'm debating getting a quality red dot scope for it since most deer I take are within 70 yards.

Do you use it for hunting only, as most inline shooters do?

I'll definitely will be using for hunting deer and just having fun shooting at the range

Looking at only your screen name - you're buying the wrong gun!
