Which gun did you get? I have the break action, I like the way it opens, alot easier for me to clean. The company is a division of bpiguns, which if I remember correctly is a CVA company. The gun, at least the break action, looks almost like the Optima. I'm not sure how much difference there is between the two though. As soon as I get some free time I'm heading back to the range with it, I just haven't had the time to find a good load for it. I do plan on putting a scope on it, so I may wait until I have one before heading out to the range.
