I've already chosen the second one from the right. The bag cost 15 bucks so it don't matter too much to me
 
The triggers are set into the trigger mortise too deeply. Either the tang bolts have been consistently over tightened pulling the trigger lever ever higher and now when the triggers are not set, the levers are too high and preventing the sear from entering the half cock and full cock notches. Not a hard fix and may be that the spring that drives the set trigger lever is over tightened which also raises the lever. Back that bolt down a turn or two.
I've found that it's usually an over tightened Trigger Spring Screw. More common on kit guns than factory built.

Good luck!

Hello, congratulations on getting the CVA, big bore.
I have another method on how to raise the trigger assembly from the factory extra deep mortise.
The first pic shows a flat head screw in the base of the trigger mortise. You can use this screw to fine tune and set the depth of the assembly. Second picture shows the final inlay of trigger and guard assembly. 10.JPG9.JPG

That's clever
 
Well,I took her for a hunt today. Of course the only thing I saw was a fallow doe and her ¾ grown fawn,which wandered in towards me from 100m away and hung around at 30m for a good 5 to 10 minutes before they either caught my scent or seen my arm move,I was hiding my rather large frame behind a 4' fence post lol. Lucky they were on the wrong side of the fence or I'd have taken my first muzzleloader deer !
