I bought this CVA single shot hunter in 444 marlin a few years ago--as I recall it was around $200 and features a bergara-made barrel, I thought what's there to lose? Found a half-empty box of hornady superformance cartridges featuring their 265 interlock, they stopped making it some time ago (much to my disappointment as it was one of the best .429 bullets out there IMO). I paired the the rifle with an equally budget redfield scope that I paid $89 for.
Set up target at 258 yds--took a couple of shots to find the target and then shot 2 X 4 shot groups; the first was about 3" and this was the second. A classic bargain rig, every now and then you can get lucky.
