Thanks Everyone.
Your thoughts echo my thinking. Like the Fact that the CVA's are inexpensive with some nice features but hard to pass up that Bighorn.
The gun is a couple hours with traffic south. Hope to get down there soon to check out and confirm it's in the shape stated. At this point I'm going with the Bighorn.
Will likely also work on getting a 209 breech plug since they are legal here now.

You can never be too prepared. Proverbs 27:12 -- “A prudent person foresees the danger ahead and takes precautions. The simpleton goes blindly on and suffers the consequences.”

The prudent Campfirer trains and prepares.
