CVA Scout 444 just arrived...

[astuart44]

I just picked up a CVA Scout V2 444 from Irunguns. It came with a thread protector (much to my surprise), a muzzle break, plastic trigger lock, and a one piece base which made scope mounting a breeze due to the location of the slots. The quick takedown feature is awesome. Simply pull the lever and off comes the forestock. The trigger on this rifle is insane. Compared to the dozen Handi rilfes I have owned and three Henry single shots, there is NO comparison. I cannot wait to get it to the range! For the money, I am impressed! Range report to follow.

Nice, good looking rifle!
The quick take down feature is a great idea.

I’ve been pretty interested in these; would love to hear and see more! Some cool vids online of some Germans hunting in Africa with one with a red dot on it.

Whelp, I just went to CVAs site, noticed they have these Scouts in .35 Whelen, which I've never owned, and now it looks like I'm the soon-to-be owner of a CVA Scout V2 Stainless in .35 Whelen.

I guess I need dies and brass now and a scope to go with.

Wife'll be pissed!

I have a 444 and a 35 Whelen on the radar. JP.

pics added.

 

[lpel]

Very nice indeed!

 

[mikeyb]

Oh man, yeah that's pretty cool. Now I'm really excited! I picked up some Weaver 1" rings yesterday when I was near a CT and currently scope shopping

Nice handy rife. How's the build quality?

 

[saskcop]

Gotta love me some .444. My handload of H335 and a Speer 300 grain SP was lethal on moose from any angle.

 

[brybenn]

I searched for a whelen for awhile. Almost bought a 35 rem but held out and never ended up ordering one

 

[buck knife]

That looks like a well built rifle Andy,not familiar with .444 but I'm sure it packs a punch lol.

^ Hey Don, I can load it down to sub 44 Mag levels or supe it up to shoot lengthways through a moose with hard cast. Mad fun!

@The Kurgan, I am quite impressed with the build quality. Locks up very tight, and the hammer can be cocked silently with ease. The Henrys I have owned had that damn crinkle on cocking due to the coil spring. Metal finish is nice and even and the threading is well done.

Let me know if you’re looking for some reloading data.

I think a compact in 243 or 7 08 might be perfect for my Grandson.

 

[astuart44]

I think the compact would be an amazing backpack rifle.

^ if only we could get the short barrelled bergara models in 308 and 8x57r in Canada

I'm on a .35 remington kick lately,I'm gonna have to see about getting my hands on one of them in .35 rem .
