Reading case law can be very misleading. Many times law suits are not settled for reasons of guilt but instead reasons of cost effectiveness. Always keep that in mind.
Now I am not overlooking the reports of CVA rifles failing. Any time a rifle fails and someone is injured, this is tragic. I would never make light of that. I have owned a CVA for many years (2003) and shot thousands of rounds out if it. Am I just lucky or is this a time bomb ticking? I really do not know the answer to that. Am I going to keep shooting it? Yes I guess I am.
If you have any doubts of the integrity of your rifle, I strongly urge you not to shoot it. If these reports you read give you reason for doubt, sell the rifle and get one you are comfortable with. If you abuse your rifle, then keep that in mind. If you are one that likes to push more in a load then a recommended manufacturer charge, you are playing with fire.
If you maintain your rifle, use manufacturer recommend loads, and are comfortable with the quality, you should have a rifle that serves you well.
