then bot a CVA Optima Pro. I bought when of them too. Never sold it. Well I guess I did but the price of scrap metal wasn't to high back then. I have owned several Cva hawkins and would not hesitate to buy another one, but an inline from CVA. Never again!!!!!

They were my first in-lines. I have no complaints on either. Both were fine entry level guns for me much I sold. Depending on your expectations, how much you shoot etc. I can see them serving well outside of being an entry level in-line. The only fault I had with the Optima Pro was you couldnt tear down receiver to clean.. The firebolt had a simple but sturdy bolt that could easily & completely torn down to clean.

I bought on a mountain rifle was good shooting but some one else wanted more than me and stole it. Now have a stag horn no complaints so far.
