Have you considered a T/C?Looking for relatable tried of fix things on the CVA. It will be a hunting gun. I am not a collector an end user,and a kit how in summer is just not doable garden, dogs fly fishing,yard work,scouting. Wrong time of year for a kit.
I have 2 in the Pedersoli's (hawken) 50 caliber . They are top quality in my opinion.So on the hunt to up grade my 54 CVA Mountain Rifle, what is everyone through on the Pedersoli ? Or a shop selling good Hawken kits?
No but someone is 0ffering one at a nice price.Have you considered a T/C?
As the others have stated, it will be hard to upgrade the 54 CVA Mountain Rifle in terms of performance. Stock upgrades to get a better looking stock. The lock could be changed with an L&R replacement lock, but the CVA percussion lock generally is an acceptable lock. The barrels are considered to be quite good in terms of accuracy whether the barrel is one of the USA barrels or a Spanish barrel.So on the hunt to up grade my 54 CVA Mountain Rifle, what is everyone through on the Pedersoli ?

Just the two broken Thumbler inside of 6 mons. Gives one reason to pause. All 3 shoot just fine no complaints, I am one of those guys that, are so picky on taking care of them, and to have another one go down for the same reason !!!!! I know their old last one made in 85, but seeing poor quality workmen ship, on the Spain's made pair, the older one made in USA is a much better made rifle.As the others have stated, it will be hard to upgrade the 54 CVA Mountain Rifle in terms of performance.

Mtman725, do you care to relist your reasons for the upgrade?
Its stamp as Made in the USA and a new lock would be a lot cheaper then a new gun!@Mtman725,
The older one will have a made in USA barrel. The lock was still made in Spain.
The upgrade would be the L&R replacement lock. The replacement lock won't necessarily increase the resale value of your rifle, but it will be an upgrade.
Ya I found that out on the first one that broke.The "Made in USA" only applies to the barrel. The lock will be marked Spain. There's a reason all the threads are metric.
YEah right, we got 8 shots out of ours before it was down 10 months with a broken frizzen.Pedersoli makes very good guns
