cva rifles

[brybenn]

Anyone using cva hunter or scout rifles in center fire? I love my cva muzzle loaders but I haven't got my hands on their other models. I think I'd like to

I have two CVA break actions... a 7mm-08 and a .35 Whelen... good solid guns... they usual go along as back-up guns (just in case).. I keep them broken down in TD cases when travelling... never had to use one on game.

How do they compare to hnr handi rifles? I'm more interested in the scout than the hunter based on the position of the opening lever.

Mine are both Apex rifles... same lever position as the Scout. I agree, I don't like the break lever position on the Hunter. The scope bases that come with the guns are from DuraSight and are excellent. As far as comparing to H&R... I would say that the metal work is much nicer on the CVA, as is the fit and finish, but I have had consistently better accuracy from H&R, which is not really a concern for me because I accurize every gun and the CVA's sharpen right up. I came close to buying a Scout in .44 RM... but went with a Ruger 77/44 instead.
