CVA 12 gauge

[Huntinshep]

May have been discussed before but would like recent opinions. What are thoughts on CVA 12 gauge ML shotgun? Would be used primarily for turkeys using Skychief's shot load. Also wondering about price range. Thank you for any help.

Very serviceable guns. It will do what you want it to. Don't commit to skychief's load off the bat. It has done nothing for me, something you just need to try for yourself.

I’ve had a few. They all worked fine.

I have a 12 gauge side by side, and like it. End of buttstock was plain wood, I worried about breaking toe, so added a buttplate.

I put a CVA SXS kit together for my brother about 15 years ago and I added a steel butt cap that I made. I thought they were OK and shot good it was cylinder both barrels - no choke. For my taste I have a Navy Arms Pietta 12 gauge and two Pedersoli's on 12 and one 10 gauge. The Navy Arms is lighter as as such swings faster but the Pedersoli can handle heaver charges.

I'd buy a CVA if the price was right and it was in VERY, VERY GOOD condition

The old Pedersolis were much lighter. Very nice upland guns, if you can find one.
