I recently purchased a CVA Accura and i'm having trouble finding what size and type of threads are tapped into the barrel for a scope mount. I would really appreciate any help on this.

Not sure about thread size but if you find a mount made for that rifle then the screws will be the right size.

I have 3 different scope mount and bases, all the screws fit from all three. Im not sure the size but I would guess there universal to fit any bases.

I bought the bases from Cabelas for the CVA Accura, however the screws don't fit. I called CVA and was advised that the correct screws were 8X40. They don't fit either. I was told by a gunsmith that the threads were probably metric since the gun was manufactured in Spain.Thanks for the response

I have a Original set of CVA's (Universal Inline Scope Mounts) item# AC 1666, they are a 2 piece base, see-thru high mount's and work great.
I had originally ordered from Cabela's a set of (Durasight Z2 Alloy Scope Mounts See-Thru, high mounts for My ACCURA. They were too high and I had to lift my head up too high too see through them correctly. Im tall 6'6" and they were too high for me.
I called CVA and told them they were too high and I asked if they had the part No. AC 1666 for the one's I had that were older. They said yes and sent me them.......guess what they were the Durasight Z2 Alloy ones. I called CVA and they said the one's I had were (discontinued) and they were replace with the Durasight's......same part No. too. So I had to send them back at my expence. So I still have the set I bought from Cabela's, and Im glad I had 2 of the older style CVA sets to go on my 2 other ACCURA's. So for what to use Im not sure as you cant get the one's I use anymore. You'd think CVA would have tried the Durasight's on the ACCURA befor they referred them to me to use.
Also If you ever plan on calling CVA to order parts or get info you WILL BE PUT ON HOLD FOR A LONG TIME AND THEIR NUMBER IS NOT A 1-800 NUMBER, IT WILL COST YOU BIG TIME. I HAD A PHONE BILL FROM CALLING CVA THAT COST ME OVER $20, just to order the scope mounts that they recommended that did'nt fit and to get some warranty replacement ram-rods for my ACCURA and Kodiak.
Sabotloader is going to list a pic of the mounts I use on (dpittman's) Post on ACCURA Sight Mounts, check em out.
Sorry I cant help you with the size of the screw, Im sure CVA can tell you, call them at 1-770-449-4687, but it's gonna cost you.

No, these mounts are Wood's Trophy Hunter. Never heard of 'em. When I placed my order with CABELA'S for the accura I told the person that took my order I wanted a set of bases and 1' rings that would fit the accura. I probably should have gotten quality bases and rings. I'm kinda dissappointed in CABELA'S sales person,,,,,and myself.
