DeerSlayer,
Buying one in .243 califer this evening from Academy in stainless steel for my son. Looked at one over the weekend and it looked pretty decent. I have a TC Encore with several barrels and always like the idea of single shot; however, did not want to shell out the bucks for a new one.
The Stalker looks like one of the low end CVA rifles but I was pleased with the quality of the Bergara barrel. Will need to get it scoped and sighted in and can let you know if it can drive a tack or not.

were working on loads for my buddies, so far what I have found is this thing doesnt like to be clean, takes about 5 shots after cleaning and then it will hold around 1" group.
Were going to put about a 100 rounds through it breaking it in to see if it improves.

It isn't bad, no creep just tougher to pull... I took mine out last week to the range and it worked/grouped well- I'll tell ya, carrying the lightweight rifle around is a dream, but the 30-06 really kicks hard! Any products out there that can help with the muzzle jump?

Do yall still like them? Thiking hard on getting one in 243. I would prolly pass. After many single shots I have come to the conclusion they can be very finicky. I would get a bolt action. stevens at academy is only 249.00 vanguard is 399.00

 CVA Stalker in 308 @ 100 Yds. Second day on the bench. Not bad considering I was using cheap russian surplus ammo.

Nope, not too bad at all. Thanks for the update. I just picked up a 7mm-08 and am trying to convince myself I did the right thing. I appreciate it

Best I know, the barrels aren't interchangeable.
