I went to a gunshow and a local vendor had very nice, lightly used CVA .50 double rifle that he said was acquired from an estate. I didn't realize that CVA had ever even made one, and while it was heavy, it appeared to be well made. For the right person with a need and who doesn't mind carrying that much weight, the $425 price tag seemed like a real bargain. But was the original list price actually over $800 as the seller claimed?
The barrels shared a single sight, the gun had a broad shallow forend resembling a side by side shotgun, and it probably weighed over 10 pounds. I also noticed that the muzzle of each barrel was shaped like a wedding band. Has anyone ever seen or shot one of these older CVA double rifles before?
 
I've been seeing them at gun shows recently too. They are nicely built guns compared to CVA's usual guns. I read something about them, I believe in muzzleloadingforum.com but I don't remember the particulars. I have yet to see one under $450, with $500 being more the norm around here. I'm seriously considering buying one if a good deal every comes along. They're sure sweet looking.
