Which one?
« on: October 30, 2016, 06:39:26 PM »
I'm going to Pa whitetail hunting in a few weeks , and bringing back a few of my guns. When I get back here I'm selling the Springfield 1903, and going to buy a either a knight Bighorn,  or a CVA Accura. I narrowed it down to those 2, but would like some input from people who have experience with either one of those. Thanks.

Did you mean optima? I have one and the family has several together. They have been pretty good guns.

They both have pros and cons but both are good. I think the Bighorn is more accurate but the CVA is lighter and easy to clean. Cant go wrong with either IMHO
The mountains are calling and I must go

The Accura is the upscale mode of the Optima..

Keep shooting muzzleloaders - They are a blast!!

You missed the original, he had Altima istead of accura. I had never heard of the Altima.
