My .50 CVA was a kit rifle. Stamped Made In USA. Serial number 0003xxx. It has the 32 inch, 1:66 barrel. However these also had a cheap Jukar(Spain) lock. Maple stock, iron furniture, four screw patch-box. Bought new at Coast To Coast hardware store in 1976 or 77 for $89.00. The rifle shoots very nice with the .490 ball and Poly-Patch and 100 grains FFFG. It has taken many deer. It was Dad's gun and was passed on to me. I have my own guns that I use, so the CVA is "retired" now. Also have tried Power Belt bullets through it. Even with the slow twist, it shoots fair.
