Title: CVA Accura Peep sight
Post by: huntfish365 on September 05, 2019, 06:06:38 PM: Has anyone put a peep sight and Lyman front globe on a CVA Accura? Hoping to get some insight on exactly what I need and how it worked. Thanks!

Another issue is the availability of the parts. I had to buy each part from a different vendor. Brownells, midway, Natchez...I think? The gohunt article has the part numbers and ordering info. I searched and searched for a one piece front ramp/globe but couldn’t find one. Hope that helps, it’s a good option but not perfect, much more precise that factory sight.

I painted my crosshairs with GlowOn gunsight paint. Works well for me in low light conditions. I just charge it with my headlamp for a bit to get it to glow before I start hunting.

Get the .1 front ramp, lowest you can. Also make sure your lee shaver card has the same size inserts that your globe takes
