I recently ran across this in a local pawn shop that sells BP supplies. No one could tell me anything about it. Please see pictures. I’m sorry if the pictures are not the best. Appreciate any thoughts that anyone cares to share. Thank you

I apologize for the redundancy of photos. My first post and using a phone. Sorry. Thank you,

2 additional photos.

I know that it is way over priced. I am not the greatest at this, but it sorta looks like a Traditions rifle with a hardwood stock.

its a CVA mountain rifle, it has a 2 screw patchbox, prolly made in Spain. I have 2, one in 45 and one in 50. They fit me well and shoot great, very accurate. Both of mine are the early models stamped made in USA on the barrels.

 

[Zulch]

Thank you Crow-Feather. I appreciate your honesty sir. I too, felt it was too expensive.

 

[Zulch]

Sir, thank you for that information. How do you feel about the price? High? Average?

Yup, CVA Mountain rifle. Possibly the best rifle they made. I Think the only ones with pewter nose caps.

Thank you flntlokr. I appreciate the reply. They are asking $499.00 ?

There are two like that in our LGS here in UK for just over $300 each - and in better condition overall.

On the high end. For me $300 would be max. One of my best friends had one in flint and won lots of matches with it.

Thank you kindly Sir.

If it is pretty much pristine, around here (Vancouver Island) that would not be unreasonable. From what I see there, probably less. Offer half and bargain hard. Looking at the dings around the end of the barrel, I would want to take a look with a bore scope. It's seen some life. Maybe 40 or 50 years of it.

flntlokr. Thank you. I appreciate your comments very much. I'm still on the fence about it. Using a bore scope is a great suggestion! Thanks again.

Don't apologize about the pictures. Some don't post hardly any and want answers. I think it's a little high also but there are those that would pay that just because of what it is. Best rifle CVA ever marketed. Offer less and see.

When dickering, most pawn shops set their prices for around 100% of what ever the item have cost them.

Ergo, speak to the shop owner, and not a clerk, then lay your cash offer on the counter before telling them that the cash is all you can pay for it.

Too high for that model. The ones marked MADE IN USA might be worth near that. I have two 'Made in USA' models that were earlier. They have 4 screw patch boxes and hexagon ramrod ferrules. One of mine has maple with quite a bit of curl. I might get almost that much for that one and around $400 for the other. Both are in excellent condition,,. [BTW: Not for sale]. Polecat

Ya appears CVA Dikar Spain. Price is up there. I say $300-350 tops.
Offer them 300 if you want it. Leave your phone number. They
are good rifles and are usually very accurate. However, used it is not
a $500 gun-- unless of course it is something else and I am missing the ID.
