    CVA Optima snapped in half!!!

    Henry lever guns , same pot metal . Snazzy brass cover over it . That cast , pot metal has been used a long time in rifles . I honestly have no problem with it breaking from a fall from a tree . YMMV

    .45 cal sub bases

    MMuzzy , You ever gave the Power Belts a try in the 45 ? I know nothing about them myself but I do like the simplicity of them in my Omega . But I have always kept it at a hundred yards or less except on a coyote the one time . MM

    Yes sir , I pretty well knew that but figured it was worth asking . Thought maybe an extra few yards of range and energy might come from it and Im sure it does but like you said , not enough to make a hoot . MM
