Just wanted to add that I bought one of these CVA rifles from Deer Creek a while back, just because I'm a lefty and the price was so good. I ended up passing it on to someone else without ever shooting it but it sparked remarkably well! Fit and finish was pretty good too and according to the serial number it was made in 1996! Now, the length of pull was too short for me so keep in mind that production guns cater to the average person of average height but for the money it is a heck of a good deal.
