Anyone else have this gun? My father has one, and he has not really hunted in the last few years so I have it as an extra for any of my buddies that want to continue the season. I shoot an Omega and love it. I noticed the front sight broke off of the gun. It is made of plastic, I was like you gotta be chitten me? A gun that is used to hunt deer, walking through swamps, and thick crap is gonna get bumped at some point, and they make the sight out of plastic, ramp and all???? One of my buddies has the same gun and I mentioned it to him, his reply was same thing happened to me I superglued it temporarily till i get a new one.

Call CVA on Jan 4th when they are open again and explain the sight problem. Ask if they could replace them under warranty with the metal Durasights.

I have 2, 1 Mag and a Pro. Never had any problems with either one. Yes the sights are made of plastic. Like MD said call CVA and Im sure they'll take care of you.

Plastic sights,how could you ever trust them?

Lemoyne, You cant!

I was forced to buy a set of plastic sights in 2006? when the fiber optic broke on my original sights. You tighten up the screw and the plastic sight turns into a U and with enough force, you can slide them up the ramp with thumb-index finger.

Any time you get a gun with plastic sights, take them off and throw them in the trash because they are just flat out junk. Plenty of good affordable open sights out there to choose from.

Im lucky to be able to use a Scope on my MLer when hunting so I dont need the open sights, there just there for looks I could care what there made of....But....
In case I ever need them like in a heavy snow storm or if the scope gets fogged over from my breath when it's really cold I'll use the sights. Since there plastic and will move like MD said I took a knife and after they were set and sighted in I put a cut from the top rear sight into the bottom of it so I can check to see if my marks are lined up if it ever decides to move. Or once your sighted in you can slide off the rear sight and put some glue on it then slide it back on, again with your marks in place so you know where to lign it up.

On my CVA Staghorn Magnum I broke the plastic fiber bar front sight the very first day on the range. Needless to say I was upset. All it did was slip and slide along the table. I even caught the rifle before it hit the ground, but that sight hit the table and broke off. So I taped it back in place with clear packaging tape. You know that real strong stuff. It is still taped. Still shoots fine. Although I did put a Simmons 4x32mm Pro Diamond Scope on it. And it is a deadly accurate rifle.

Have you ever wondered why some of the "cheap" (and I hate that word) rifles shoot so well? I mean the stock to barrel fit could be better, the plastic sights could be metal, and the old plunger style of ignition is definitely not a Omega or Accura by any means.. yet out to 100 yards that Staghorn will hold its own with most any rifle. And it shoots Powerbelts with extreme accuracy. 90 grains and a 245 or 348 grain powerbelt and it is an excellent shooter.
