Any gun can fail if the user doesn't take proper precautions.

That's what I kind of figured UC. What a waste of a good rifle. Lucky he did not get hurt.

gun in reference is optima,yes it blew directly where the screw holes were for the scope in front of breach plug, plug still in gun barrel split directly in fromt of plug

If you stop and think about it it is suprising they have as few blow as they do. Quality control and inspection is something the Americans do, and their so called proof testing is so pitiful its anal. Lee

tell that to toby bridges

check out youtube, PLENTY of those good ol american made rifles exploding!

tommy have you got in touch with cva/bpi about this? or just waiting for lawyers to do that?

either way the gun will be tested for manufacture or user error.

yes I did talk to cva to try and explain what heppened and they sent me an address label and told me to send the gun back to them asap,,not, the gun is with me,I have talked to a lawyer and he explains to me I must wait for dr to release me and give my final results on my hearing and bills.
sent cva pics of gun and let them know address label hed wrong name on it,also told them what the dr was saying,only responce I got from them was""I'm sorry to hear about your dr visit butplease go ahead and use that label,but put a piece of paper with my name adddress and phone number""they already have all that so why can't they get the right name on a label

How did Randy Wakeman get your name?

so whos gun was it that blew up again?

the pic you saw of gun in floor with half scope gone and hole in top of barrel is mine
