There's a 7mm08 CVA at Academy for about 180$. Are they still having the barrel problems?

What barrel problems are you referring to? The CVA muzzleloaders had a run of bad barrels in one model during one year in the mid-90s, but I have heard of no problems with their recent products.

what model is it? If it's an Apex, I don't know of any barrel problems.

oh, crap. Just saw how old the original post is...
