CVA Accura vs Optima

I'm trying to decide between these two rifles. Main use will be whitetail hunting at ranges less than 100 yards. However, if a shot at 150-200 yards presents itself, I'd like the gun to be capable of it.

I'll be buying the Northwest version of whichever I choose.

How much more accurate is the Accura with its Bergara barrel, in quantitative terms if anyone knows? I know it will shoot MOA or near it - how about the Optima?

Is the Nitride coating worth it?

Any other comments from those familiar with both?

Thanks.

I got a Optima Pro when they first came out.
I use 3 pellets for powder(150 grains) and use the .45 cal sabots made for the .50cal and have shot many deer.
I use the 209 primmers.
I have taken shots out to 175 yards and have always gotten what I shot at.
