[QUOTE="SidecarFlip, post: 755850, member: 39764"] I am. I'm at one end of the state, you are at the other. My advantage (or disadvantage is I'm 2 miles from Cabelas....lol I'm an out west hunter for the most part. I have property just south of Big Rapids that I hunt on with a centerfire (308 Savage) but the smoke pole intrigues me. I'm a firn believer in one shot and make it a good shot, even with a centerfire. I very seldom have the magazines loaded, usually one in the chamber and a couple in my pocket. My hunt partner (also out west) has the CVA V2 and I've shot his before and I like the feel of the rifle. It's a bit nose heavy compared the my 308 but it feels comfortable for offhand shooting. I'm so used to a centerfire but not too old to adapt to something else, especially when that else is a legal firearm to hunt deer down here. In SE Michigan you can hunt with a bow, handgun, shotgun or muzzleloader, no centerfire rifle. I use a handgun (44magnum S&W with a scope) but the effective range is a bit short. The CVA gives me more range and the longer tube makes shot placement more accurate. I see I don't have to go broke getting an optic this time. I'm used to spending better than a grand fror a scope, thats refreshing. The last VX4 I bought was almost 1500. My hunt partner has a Nikon camo on his and it appeared (to me) that the glass and resolution was well within the capabilities of the rifle. This isn't a 500 yard gun like my 308 or a 1500 + yard gun like my 338 and it appears to be fairly economical to shoot. 308's arent bad when reloading but 338's even reloading can cost a bundle. I'm understanding that unlike my medium to long, long range rifles, I won't be clicking in elevation or windage but zeroing the scope and using the holdovers for distance? Is that a correct assumption? 250 yards is a cake shot for my centerfires, I typically zero my scopes at 300 yards. That brings me to the next question and that is, whichever scope I mount, I assume that I need to zero at 100 yards and I also presume the parallelax is pre set at 100 as well. All my scopes presently are side parallelax adjustable. One less knob might not be all bad.... Finally, because I have a natural tendency to cant my rifles to the right, do I need a scope level. I have them on all my centerfire rifles and the CVA came with a scope mount attached. Do I need to lap it prior to mounting the scope (SOP on my centerfires). Lots of questions I realize. This is a new ballgame for me. [/QUOTE]
