I have a CVA rifle in 44 MAG chambering. This is my Florida hog rifle hunting over bait. No problems with fit, finish, function, or accuracy. Good rifle for a fair price. Best accuracy with Hornady Leverevoltion ammo. Another CVA rifle I own is named Optima which is a 50 caliber in-line muzzle loader. Accuracy is amazing with Powerbelt bullets!
Ask your local gun shop if this Rossi rifle has a significant returns history. Is it returned for warranty work more than other rifles they sell? I'm like you, attracted to bargains for hunting outfits.
