CVA durasight bases and rings

[fastbs]

gonna save yall some trouble here. usually i stick with weaver or go high end with egw rails and rings but i didn't this time, thought i would try somethin different.
I just got a cva wolf and am mounting a bushnell 3200 3-9x40 on it. since cva pushes the durasight (both companies are owned by bpi products) brand bases and rings i thought surely they would work good... HA.

I got the DS102B 1 piece rail base which when mounted is a hair to long. when you close the gun the rail hits the action and prys the rail up off the barrel a bit in the rear. It also rubbed the breech plug when you screw the plug out. Fixed all this with a little filing.

Now on to the qd rings DS300B. The top screw holes in both rings were bugered up or maybe it was the coating they put on them. The screws wouldn't start and i had to retap both of them.

I shot an email to durasight yesterday but of course they aren't getting back with me.

Lesson learned stick with better known rings and bases.
okay i feel better thanks listening to my rant.

Maybe I just got lucky and drew the short straw.
After little modifyin they work right.
I really like the gun, a few buddies have wolfs and I like them so scooped this one up on sale from midway usa. It holds 1.5" inch groups at 100 yds with 2 triple 7 pellets, 300 gr gold dots (also 300 gr xtp mags), mmp black sabots, and winchester 777 primers. I'm well stocked on this load so I havnt tried anything else.
I'm very am very amazed that the hand removable breech plug really works. Shot about 10 times and u could just take it right out like it hadn't even been shot.
I would like to try bh209... well id like to try a lot of things.
Here u can see where I cut out the back of the base and it picked up the shine on one of the retaped holes.

i see how that could be a problem. It looks like that rail was set up for the 2009 models and older. The 2010 line up has an entire new mounting hole set up.

Good rings though, i use them on 2 of my rifles.
