You might end up having to tap the holes to a different thread, perhaps, because of the small thread size they are stripped and that is why the screws aren't going in...just a thought if the next set of rings/bases cabelas sends you doesn't fit again.

I got in touch with CVA and they told me they had a set of rings and bases for the Accure. I will have to wait until Monday to find out for sure as they are closed now. If not, the next step will have to be retap.

Im sure CVA is gonna send you a set of Durasight Z2 Alloy Mounts for the ACCYRA as they are the only sight mounts they carry, as they make em. I dont know if you told them you wanted the high or low base but like I mentioned above in another reply the high base see-thru's were too high for me and Im tall. And if you get the low base I know you'll have to remove the rear sight and Im not sure how much room you'll have for Hammer Finger clearance.
I would NOT RETAP the threads, if you ever have to have WARRANTY work on the ACCURA this will VOID it. There are mounts that will work but your just gonna have to find one that will fit. Did you ask CVA what size the threads are??? You could also call Bergara Barrels at 1-877-892-7544 and ask them.

Does anyone out there have any information about T/C Omega with Weather Shield Barrels,,,, rust, corroding, etc? Also are they accurate out to 100yds.? Any information will be appreciated.

Thanks BP. No, I would not retap the threads. I'm going to send the Rifle back and reorder a T/C omega. I have ordered three different sets of bases and rings. Bases fit GOOD,,screws don't fit. Called CVA ask about screw and thread size and was told 8X40. These do not fit. I will call Bergara.

I purchase the Accura back in December and had a little issue with this as well. The screws that came with the Dura sight mounts seem to be too big for the threads in the Barrel. After a call to CVA to verify the correct size screw which it was. I went back and tried with what I thought was nothing to lose because if it was the right screw and properly drilled and tapped from the factory it would not be my fault is threads got stripped . It ended up being it was just real tight to get started but once you got past the first few threads they went right in. So give that a try as long as you have confirmed the screws you have are proper size.

So what did you end up doing, did you send the ACCURA back for a Omega? Did you ever find out what the size of the screws were? I have only used CVA's scope mounts and they fit fine. I have a older set of CVA Universal Scope mounts and a newer set of CVA Durasight Z2 Alloy Scope Mounts and both the screws from these fit fine. It would be nice to know what the proper size screw is in case I change to a different scope mount from CVA's brand to someone elses.

BP, I'm kinda in a hold pattern at the present. I called CVA again asking about the screw size. This time they told me the size was
8X40 metric. The person I spoke to told me he would send me some of the screws free of charge, which I thought was very nice. I want to keep my Accura,,,,,,hope these screws work.

I was just thinking.....the scope mounts and bases I now have on My ACCURA also were on My CVA HunterBolt Mag and on one of My CVA Kodiaks and CVA Staghorns. So why the heck does'nt CVA know the exact size of the screws as they must all be the same size on all the MLers I have from them.
Again I never had anything but CVA Mounts and Bases on mY CVA's so and they always fit so I never needed to know the screw size. When you find out for sure the size let me know, and Keep Your ACCURA.
Good Luck!

I'm sure I will keep the Accura, I like all the features of the gun. The CVA rep told me the correct size of the screws are 8X40 metric. As soon as I get them and see if they fit, I will let you know.
