What's wrong with this picture?

New CVA Kodiak Pro - Just picked it up today from UPS.

I noticed it after I installed the scope bases so I put the rifle in a Tipton Gun Vise and leveled the rifle via the rear scope base. I then checked the front scope base and the rear sight ramp. Neither are in plane with the rear sight base. I put the cleaning rod sections and the scope leveler on for the photos to illustrate what I found.

I'll be calling CVA in the morning to see what they tell me and I'll report back here.

Wow thats insane.... any idea how much off center that front sight base is? Hopefully they have a solution. My first guess is maybe removing the front base and redrilling/ tapping in the correct location.

Oddly, the front sight appears to be correctly installed. Looking down the barrel, the front sight is centered in the scope bases and the rear sight is waaaayy off.

Stuff like that drives me crazy. It would be on its way back for replacement tomorrow if it were me.

I called them first thing this morning and described the situation to one of their customer service people. The first question he asked was: "How does it shoot?".

I asked if I could forward some photos of the issue and was given an email address. Photos have been sent.

I'll post again when I get a response.

WOW!!! That already gives me doubts about their customer service. I was borderline thinking about a CVA but questioned their quality. Now I'm leaning away from it.

I got a response from CVA within one hour of sending the photos. The response and their responsiveness are very encouraging.

From the email:
Chris,
I will need your name, address and phone number so that I can send you a prepaid UPS label to send the gun in to us.


No reaction to the photos other than the above.

Will keep you posted.
