I have bought a couple CVA's over the years, and have had ignition problems with both. One used #11 caps and the other used 209 primers. I'm not a CVA fan. In my opinion, quality is just not there.

My wife bought me an Omega several years ago, when they first came out. It is still as accurate as ever, and has NEVER failed to fire. Not even once, even after a full day of hunting in constant rain. I scoped it with a Nikon Prostaff in Leupold QR rings. Scope returns to zero when reinstalled every time, making it easy to use the stock irons quickly if needed, and I have. The load I use is a 295 grain plated Powerbelt HP over three 50 grain Pyrodex pellets. I use the T/C 209 tool, so primimng is easy and fumble free with or without the scope. It will shoot cloverleafs all day. Accurate and 100% reliable. I can recommend it highly,
