I think that's a wise decision Doegirl. And if they find there is indeed something wrong with the rifle, make a stink. Tell then you spend lots of money on powerbelts to try and tune that monster. Then ask them if perhaps they'd change it out for a .50 caliber. Not really any more recoil, just as long range capable, easier to tune, better selection of projectiles, legal for large game hunting in more states,and less barrel pressures in your loads... (can you tell I like the .50 caliber over the .45 caliber.. )

CVA customer service has been really good to me when I needed them. I hope they can fix your problem and get you up and shooting ASAP.
