Wallyworld has them on sale for 240 thumbhole and stainless. Reviews I find are for the most part pretty positive.
The gun fits really well.

A typical Wallyworld end of season price mark down. That is a great deal. Buy it if it is still there when you go back.

The gun fits really well. If stock fit is important and if you plan on mounting a scope you should check how the fit is with a scope on it. A couple of my hunting buddies have CVAs and I didn't care for the stock fit with a scope on top. One with high mounts was so bad I had to hold my face away from the stock to get behind the scope. None were thumbhole stocks so I might be comparing apples to oranges. I'm not knocking CVAs it's just something to consider.

highs are normally used with a 44mm+ scope. Medium and low for a 40mm - smaller.

Guns that come with open sights will never be perfect for scopes without raising the comb. CVA does have some stocks that are made for scopes only.

Any of you guys used the Cva's are they generally pretty accurate?, reliable?

$234 at Fleet Farm. Hmmmmm, I may need to try something that's a little easier to clean than my old Knight MK-93.
It actually looks a LOT easier to clean.

It actually looks a LOT easier to clean. Thats why I got rid of my knights...antiquated priming system,blowback and not as compact. Only bolt gun I would still purchase is a White SUPER 91. that was the best one ever designed and built.

White Super 91 isn't a bolt gun, it's a plunger design. You're probably thinking of the White Thunderbolt.

Looks like a bolt gun correct , a bolt is window dressing on a Knight or any other bolt action derivative unless you are talking smokeless guns or magnum muzzleloaders. That super 91 had the best safety mechanism of any muzzleloader I have ever used. Not to mention it was way the heck overbuilt and was super simple to completely strip apart in the field.

I can change my underwear, but I never do it

It didn't seem obvious to you. You said you shouldered an Optima, but wouldn't like it with a scope. You also said you didn't try the TH stock which is the stock made for a scope. So, you didn't like the stock made for open sights, because it wouldn't work good with a scope. WTF?

That's not exactly what I said but I did say "None were thumbhole stocks so I might be comparing apples to oranges." I understand that stocks made with iron sights in mind will "fit" differently when you mount a scope. Some work well, some so-so, and in the case I mentioned not so well. Peace out. BTW, I changed my underwear yesterday but I'm still wearing them and the same pair of socks.

Hey bigblock,
Do CVA thumbhole stocks "fit" better with a scope than the straight stocks?
The only reason I brought this up in the first place is the CVA I shouldered was unusually ill fitting ... the way it was set up.
