New to your site and have been looking at old posts to get some more information on the CVA Accura V2 LR. I have one waiting under the Christmas tree for me hopefully and have not ordered a scope yet but was leaning towards the Leupold Ultimate Slam 3x9x40. Seems most here on this site like the Blackhorn 209 powder but after reading the Online User manual for this gun,CVA says I can use the "magnum" charge of 150 grains equivalent of pelletized black powder substitute. The manual also stated that magnum loads of loose powder may be used but not recommended because of their inefficient and incomplete burning of the powder.
I hunt a 200 acre farm where you can see for hundreds of yards and see plenty of deer and coyotes on any given hunt. So this was one of the reasons I decided to go with this model hoping I can get the gun dialed in with a load where after some practice could take a 200 yard shot with confidence. I have always used 150 grain 777 pellets/300 gr Hornady SST sabots in my old Omega I just sold and the gun was extremely accurate out to 150 yards with that load. I did order the BH209 breech plug and already received it but at this point was perhaps going to stick with the original breech plug and go the 777 pellet route, at least starting out.
So was wondering what some of you guys thought about this new rifle and which scope and load to possibly go with?
Thanks in advance,
