I was going to state what mstr2175 said. The break action is a dream to clean compared to a bolt gun. I have owned two bolt action ML rifles and both were a nightmare compared to the break actions.
I have had the T'C Encores (6) the T/C Omega (2) and the T/C Black Diamond....I like all of them. But, as you can tell, I am a T/C lover. I also had a stainless/camo Remington 700ML...didn't last a full season and it was on the chopping block...accurate....but hated the way it worked. Got a face full of blowback from the primer on every shot.
I have tried the CVA's and a couple others but I kept coming back to the T/C for their quality and accuracy. I even have a couple older T/C sidelocks...1 Hawken and one I am not sure what it is. I am also looking for a newer Hawken to put a barrel on it I got at a flea market. I got stupid lucky and bought a brand new (approx. $225) Green Mountain Long Range Hunter barrel for $5. The seller nor I had any idea what it went to or what it was so he said $5 and I said okay...one call to Green Mountain and I was happy!!!!

I agree with pretty much everything Kevin said.

dbd, now if we can decode which poster is "Kevin", we'll know with whom you agree.
Cool! We get a mystery/logic puzzle in addition to some ML advice! 8^)

Thanks everyone I have concluded that the cva wolf is financially and functionally the gun I want right now. I am pretty adaptable on pretty much any gun besides handguns. My wife is going to get me one for christmas. The reviews on the cva rifles I've read have been good I like the fiber optic sights on them and I like that the gun is drilled and tapped for scope mount when I get the extra money for it the break action seems much more attractive it will be better for me and my lefthanded self the fact that local Walmart keeps em in stock at 166$ is a major persuading factor thanks again for the input folks!
