I had a cva buckhorn basically given to me. They're cheap under $150 new. Very straight forward easy to use. But I've heard from many people they have issues....mine was a rust bucket I brought back to life, it works flawlessly, and it's a beater so I'm extremely happy with it and it's accuracy.
I also bought a well used but in great condition Traditions pursuit when I couldn't get the previous mentioned Cva to shoot. The pursuit is a break action gun. I love it!! Very accurate, a pleasure to shoot and carry. It came with a Williams peep sight already on it, but I upgraded to Williams peep fire sight and front matching sight. They're fiber optic models.
This gun I enjoy so much that I'm already saving to purchase a brandnew pursuit ultralight or vortek ultralight which is a little higher grade and featured for the pursuit.

I'll second the CVA Optima V2 50 cal. nod. I borrowed my brother's last year when I got drawn for the multi-season tag and got my deer the first morning out. My husband bought me one for Christmas. Not being a hunter himself, he didn't realize it needed to be NW compliant. I called CVA and got a NW legal conversion kit for like $20 incl. shipping. It was super easy to swap out, I did it myself. It's super accurate and we got two deer down with it last week! My only advice is to use RWS musket caps with it, not CCI. Had lots of misfires and hang-fires with CCI caps. Other than that, it's reliable, accurate and user friendly.
I second this choice, I have never had a problem with CVA and they are affordable. RWS caps are a must.
