Default RE: CVA Stalker Carbine

ORIGINAL: cayugad

vast knowledge.. I'm flattered to say the least. But a gunsmithI never claimed to be. Granted I've mounted my share of scopes and worked over some barrels that couldn't be hurt much more then they already were, but triggers are another thing. One little slip and you are buying parts.
I re-worked a trigger on aSavage.22 WMR. Was a $99 dollar rifle about 17-18 years ago. The trigger was so hard it bruised my trigger finger. I noticed that there was a ledge on the trigger that was all rough so I polished it with very fine emory. I noticed then it was "too easy". It worried me so I cocked my rifle, unloaded of course, and just allowed the butt firmly bump the floor. Every 2nd or 3rd bump the trigger released. So i had to go back in and "roughen it". While the rifle is now a pleasure to fire, in the back of my head, I have a worry and I always think about my trigger modifications when I hunt or shoot with it.

Something "HAD" to be done about the trigger, but looking back, I wish I had thought to call Savage and see if they would do the modifications. So all in all, I think the piece of mind you will get by letting CVA handle it for you, will be worth whatever it takes to send it to them.

Its good to hear your rifle is shooting well.

Happy Hunting, Phil
