plastic sights or the steel durabrights? I'd call cva and ask them, Im sure they'll get the problem fixed for you.

Also, You're using to much powder with those 295 grain powerbelts.

oh ok. I'll be ordering an assortment of powerbelts and posting the results of the platinums.

I'd give cva a call about the sights and see what they say.

What part of CO you going to?

Not sure about your rifle, but I had a problem with the sights on another brand inlinenot having enough adjustment. When I called they said the sights were regulated for a max (150 grain) load with a light bullet. I could either use more powder or a lighter bullet, or scope it. I didn't like those choices so I found it a new home.

Good to hear that CVA took care of you. Good luck at sighting it in. And you need really good luck with getting an elk! I was hunting unit 36 last year and 80-85 degree days didnt help elk hunting one bit:D

Come to think of it, Didnt help deer hunting either!
