CVA Scout followed me home

[scotteboy]

The Henry has iron sights, but having to push out a little pin and then having that floating around kinda turned me off a little.

Iron sights would be nice, but I figured I'd mount a scope anyway. And that does slightly increase the take down length.

I see there is a Chiappa Big Badger available now in 30-30, which would be very handy to just unfold.

Yeah I saw the Henry but was hoping for stainless. 'll check the Chiappa out. I load 190gr barnes for the 30-30 for bear so that may be an option. I wouldnt have to buy dies etc too.
Thx much

I'm REALLY close on pulling the trigger on a 44mag. The only thing that's tripping me up is the lack of iron sights. I'd like to put it in a backpack/dufflebag and have for around camp for bears etc. I don't want a scope. May have to see if it's a future offering. Such a cool rifle

You need to find a chiappa 44 mag lever take down then. 12" barrel, take down in short order and has a peep sight. Bonus lever action.

I get it, not quite the $600 rifle, but I ended up going this route instead of the cva td 44.

Why not get sights installed? Im sure youll find a reciever sight that fit the D&T rail pattern and then just need to get front sight soldered or d&t.

I was thinking about that but you might not he covered under warranty by cva afterwards. Plus I'm kinda a plug and play type of guy. I might have to bite the bullet and get a lever takedown or a mares leg. The extra cartridge capacity wouldn't be a bad thing anyway. Cheers

The Henry are def a more refined pc than the chiappa, but the mares leg is kinda useless unless you can get a standard stock for it. They come around every once in a while, but are on the hard to find list for sure. Plus, I just don't like all the brass look on the Henry, just too shiney.

They might be offered with steel frame now? Standard stock is fairly easy to get I think. I artificially added tarnishing to make the brass look older on my Big Boy. Or could go further and turn it all black.

My safe is overflowing and I need another soon. So I need one of these like I need another hole in my head. But if they offered a 20"-22" stainless 6.5 Creedmoor in the takedown version, I don't think I could pass it up. I realllllly don't need it. But God damn would that be a versatile rifle.

Release lever in front of trigger has never been an issue for me. Never been hung up, and becomes very natural to use very quickly.


Took two bears with my 35 whelen this spring. Makes a good stand or sitting rifle.

Had a 243 compact SS for a while. Had it been a pound lighter and in something like 7mm08, I think it would have been a forever deer stalking rifle in my safe..
