CVA Wolf vs. Optima
« on: November 18, 2007, 08:20:12 AM »
What do you get by upgrading to the Optima from the Wolf?  It looked to me like the Wolf had a plastic trigger guard, but I think I remember the Optima in the store as having a metal one.

Thanks for the link!  Looks like there is a good bit of difference.  What exactly do they mean by "bullet guiding muzzle" on the Optima, and is this something that would be beneficial?

The muzzle part of the bore is designed with no rifling so a projectile can be perfectly aligned before it engages the rifling at loading, just like TC's QLA(Quick Load Accurizer). ;)
