[QUOTE="LanceS4803, post: 4947674, member: 9491"] You won't even believe the email I got from them today. I laid out how after 9 years, the rifle is malfunctioning with over 10% of the primers popping, but not setting off the powder. A new primer does it. I got fresh powder, changed primers and even bought a new breech plug. Still a problem and it almost cost me a bull elk last week. Their response? The firing pin hit the primer and it popped, so the rifle works as intended. They go on to say try different powders, primers, etc. 9 years it has worked! Problems with this rifle so far? Sling swivel stud broke out of the forend when attached to a bipod (they replaced) Sight rail drill off center (i bought a new one) Stock finish turned incredibly sticky (they acknowledged a problem and said to repaint) Firing pin hole flowed over (I drilled) Breech plug problem (I am thinking of slightly enlarging) A CVA Accura is looking good in the future [/QUOTE]
