Angry Warning cva hunterbolt rifles

If you have a CVA bolt action ML BEWARE of the SAFETY! I feel that this matter needs to get out. I had a gun/archery shop and sold several of these when they came out. In fact I and my family still use 3 of them. However when I cleaned the gun after season I took the safe off and put the gun back on "SAFE" it didn't go on "SAFE" unless I lIfted the bolt handle!!. I had this happen to methis year and thought I was handling a safe gun. I had too high a percentage of them coming back with trigger problems. The pin that holds the sear doesn't go all the way thru the housing and either backs out or the tip breaks off, leaving the sear supported by only one end. This can cause the problem described above or to go off too easily.
To their credit CVA has been exceptionaly good about replacing the trigger assemblies for the guns that have come into my shop. If you have one of these guns be sure to check out the safety as I'm sure I didn't sell the only ones that developed this unsafe problem.
