Luke I bought my first one after new year almost 14 years ago when I was 16 I believe. I bought it at the old galyans store before dicks bought them out it was a cva hunterbolt they don't make them anymore. Gun cost $100 and I put a $200 scope on it. I bought a cva optima pro magnum when they sold them discounted when they discontinued that model. If I was to get another I would buy a wolf just because of the price. Get you a bushnell banner dusk to dawn 3-9x40 they run around $100 and for a cheap scope I have one on my expensive gun and for the last 8 years it has kept zero
