I have heard that CVA will be offering the Optima Elite Centerfire rifles with thumbhole stocks in camo/stainless and black/blued for '08. I'm going to talk to my dealer and see if they can get in line for one of them in my preferred caliber.
I thought I'd pass the word along for anyone who might be interested in doing the same... I held the standard and thumbhole stocks at the shop and I thought the thumbhole was really nice. I want one, but I didn't really want to spend the extra $$ for the extra stock...
