CVA Elite Stalker vs CVA Apex

Is the Apex really worth the extra money, or should I buy the Stalker. I have the money for either, just curious if anyone has information about the differences in the two besides the look.

What caliber you looking at? I like the Elite Stalker.

35 whelen or 45-70. Haven't decided yet. Read a lot of reviews siting problems with the 35 whelen (stalker) when grouping at 100 and 200 yards.

I have heard of no problems but I would recommend the 35.

Do they not offer the scout in 444?

I have the Elite Stalker in 35 Whelen and I had no problems with site in at + 2 inches at 100 yards. then shoot at 200 yards and be right on center.
also am using Horndy 200gr with a Nikon Pro staff 3x9x50 scope.

The problems I did hear about were because the scope mount people were using was moving because there were not screw on tight. Cva now includes the scope mount with the rifle to solve this problem.

Good question. I wouldn't be opposed to getting a 444 if its the better of the 35 or 45-70. Consensus seems to be stalker 35 whelen.

It come down to a person choice.
444 is a flat shooting bullet
35 Whelen is very close to shooting a 30.06 as far as ballistics

Next question, best place to buy the stalker in 35 whelen near Baton Rouge. I'll probably get the black and stainless or the camo and stainless.

My uncle got one from academy 2 weeks ago.

Damn never knew that, thought it was more like an older 30-30. You can use the 35W during smoke pole season.
