Clean the breech plug " primer end" with a 3mm or #32 drill bit, chances are its never been cleaned properly and thats what the problem is.
If you get a new gun, i'd be more than happy to have you send me the kodiak and i'll go through it and see what i can find. CVA will replace it if it truly will not shoot, so either way you are in ok shape.

i bought it new in 04 ive always used pyrodex or 777 150 gr powder. 195 or 225 gr powerbelts until it started showing problems then i backed off to 100 gr of powder.....it always drove tacks 1 in groups.breech plug is clean as a whistle i always made sure of that.even e-mailed cva. 3-4 yrs ago i ran about 50 shots i changed scopes,after shooting and cleaning several times it got better,thought i might have been crushing the powder rechecked everything cleaned and started again finally @75 yds 100gr powder and same bullets i can hit a paper plate so i go with it...nxt year rerun,same scope only half as many shots but it would never pattern group got smaller but was prolly still 6-8 in. i missed a doe and a good 140" buck last year at 75 yds.so this year i started shooting early,i even tried t/c shockwaves same mess started out decent eneded up burning whole box of powder and bullets with 3-4 cleaning in between all these shots.....i plan on emailing cva again

I never got a good group with 195 gr or 223 gr powerbelt bullet. Buy some hornady sst 200gr. It saved me alot of headache.

You've replaced the scope so im wondering if its your scope mount/rings giving you all the grief.
