If you dont like CVA than dont shoot one, simple as that. But why must everyone keep bashing CVA ML's. Sure the OLD CVA had some problems, but the new CVA has come a long way. I have owned mostly CVA ML's for the last 20 years, with the execption of 2 TC's and a DIXIE GUN WORKS 50Cal Poor Boy. And I have never had a problem with any of the CVA's. Some of the cheapest CVA's I had (Staghorn & Staghorn Magnum) $99 ML's were as accurate as any of my buddies higher priced TC's and I killed just as many if not more deer with them as they did with there's. And I now own 2 CVA ACCURA's and I would'nt trade them for anyother ML out there.
If more people would learn how to handle a ML and would'nt do stupid things, these law suits would'nt happen. Im not saying CVA is perfect, no ML is. It comes down to who is using it and what they do when there using it. Be careful, do what your suppos-to and you should be fine. But dont blame your mistakes on the MLer if something should go wrong. That's why all ML's Companies put in BIG RED LETTERS (WARNING) in the owners manuals, there there for a reason.
I live in a Big Hunting Community and as long as I have Hunted I have never ever heard of anyone being injured by a MLer where I live, and there's a-lot of us ML Hunters here. I know &$#! Happens, but you got to wonder to what people this is actually happening to. ALL MLers are Dangerous, so be careful, do what your expected to do with one and do it right, and all should be fine. If you dont feel comfortable using a ML than dont.
I hope nothing ever happens bad to anyone using a MLer, and I wish everyone a Safe and Happy Hunting Season, but Please quit picking on CVA, has anyone heard of a Bergara ML Barrel exploding? CVA now uses them on there better ML's, you get what you pay for.If you have an older CVA and it's one of the one's on recall, exchange it for a newer one, free of charge, there the old CVA Companies MLers. And if you still have an old relic mabey it's time to get a new one.
A MLer is simple, a fireing pin and a barrel, if the barrel is a good make than it should be a good MLer, but when you load it wrong, double load it, short load it or plug the end with dirt, your gonna be in trouble no matter wich ML you shoot.
