Anyway, I stopped at Dicks Sporting goods and they had this CVA Optima Elite Stalker 30.06 for only $119 bucks. I bought it and ordered the iron sights for it. With the money I saved, I bought me a new Buck knife, Nikon Binos, and some Midway Radios. I still have some more to spend.
Now I'm not expecting 1/2 inch groups but surely it will be good enought to hunt pigs, elk and deer in the brush or timber.
Any of you guys own one or shot one? How did you like it?
I hope the quality of the rifle is better than the spelling on the box! LMAO! Notice the last pic!
Honestly, I would have rather had a used 30-30win in lever action. Just saying.

I'm sure there's a little room for profit on that. The OP is convinced this can be sold for a $55 profit, easily. I'd say buy a dozen, re sell them, then get a real rifle.
