Debating on buying a cva accura v2 or MR, hows the nitride finish on these and will it chip apart and look like crap after a year? Thanks
hawgslayer said:The first V2 MR's chipped because i think it was baked on or painted on. The nitrite barrels of today are made with the nitrite within the barrel itself. I have one and have no chipping at all. I have an older MR and it did chip.
Ray................ :yeah:

I know some will say. "Oh but the MR has a Bergara barrel and an adjustable trigger". Well im not impressed by the extra polishing and ive yet to hear anyone complain about a Optima V2 trigger.
I would not buy another regular Accura V2. The Optima V2 is cheaper, lighter, looks/feels better and has a similar action release. The extra cost simply is not worth it to me.
I've been waiting all year for a new CVA Scout V2, which is a steel framed center fire .460 S&W Mag twin to the Optima V2.

Im keeping my eye on those also but in 45/70. It should make a great Super Smoker. There is one thing i really want and its a light weight compact fast twist 45 with a steel frame. The removable muzzle brake is icing on the cake.

I have a optima v2 thumbhole right now, just looking at options if the repair costs to have them remove the firepin bushing are ridiculous. HAve to call them monday.

Muley Hunter said:If it's not froze too bad you might be able to take a small punch and tap it out. Some heat might help too.
