To clarify the differences between the CVA Stalker and Mountain Stalker, I found some photos of each.
The both may have been made with both a wood and a plastic stock, or a wood stocked Stalker was simply painted black.
Or else some folks are misidentifying a different model with a plastic stock as either a Stalker or a Mountain Stalker, when it's a CVA Bobcat.
Perhaps the "Mountain Stalker" was given different names by CVA, such as the Bobcat.
The Stalker had a 1 in 32" twist with a stock that featured a pistol grip, a monte carlo cheekpiece, a rubber butt pad and adjustable sights.
While the Mountain Stalker had a straight grip stock, fixed sights and a 1 in 48" twist, which looked very much like a CVA Bobcat.
Someone told me that they originally paid $250 for a Stalker with a wood stock when it was brand new about 28 years ago in 1991.
While the plastic stocked Bobcat cost as little as $69-$99 from Walmart.
The Bobcats with the wood stock did cost more and I believe were made in different calibers.
The CVA Stalker:
The CVA Mountain Stalker also often called a Bobcat because of the strong resemblance.
The wood model was clearly marked Mountain Stalker on the barrel. However, the plastic stocked Bobcat may have also been called a Mountain Stalker but I'm not totally sure why.
It shows up in Google Images often enough to lead one to think that indeed, the plastic Mountain Stalker did resemble the Bobcat, but perhaps the names may have been different based on which store was selling them?
