CVA Wolf.. Well I bought it and ill share.

The gun is very very accurate with the hornady sst 250's and 3 pellets (150). and very very terrible at 100 yds with hornady XTP 300gr. The easiest mz i have ever cleaned and quality is top notch for a $119 gun out of Cabelas. Thought I would share my 2 cents. oh and the iron sights suck. rear sight is playschool quality. that is my only complaint.

You gotta try the VARI-FLAME primer adapters. Much cleaner and more effective combustion.

Jaeger,

Don't you owe that gun an apology for what you (or others) had called it in a previous post. You called it a POC or something like that. Just messin with you!

Great shooting! What was your bad experience with pellets? My CVA Wolf arrives today (hopefully) and I'd like the advantage of knowing as much as I can about loads before I get into trouble. Thanks for sharing!

I've seen them advertised, but don't understand how they work or help. Do you still use the 209 primer? Thanks for the info.

Dave

My new Wolf arrived today and it shoot great!

I started out (after a good cleaning, with 90 gr of FFg and ball with patch. Worked well, though the second ball didn't want to go in so well. That's when I remembered that you are supposed to carry a damp rag to run though the barrel between shots. I used a lubed patch and that helped. This gun is accurate. I finally tried some 777 pellets (two 50 gr) with a sabot bullet. That worked well, so I tried another. Finally, I tried two 777 pellets with a patch and lead ball. That worked really well too, without dirtying the barrel.

The Wolf has an adjustable rear sight that didn't need adjusting and is drilled for a scope mount if needed. It has a soft trigger that I'd love to have on my semi-auto pistols. The final observation is that this has the best recoil pad that I have used. It's really soft and it sucks up the recoil so you don't have to flinch! Great gun for $119,

Dave
