First CVA centerfire single shot

[CIC]

I picked up a CVA Hunter in 44 mag this summer and promptly reamed it to 445 super mag. Took a doe on opening day with it. I liked the gun before rechambering it. I really like it now. I don’t have a clue how it compares to other calibers like 444 or 45/70 but this thing is a beast.

Found a 2.5x8 Zeiss Conquest in my safe. Mounted it on the rifle, loaded up a box of ammo and now just need to sight it in and use for the remaining of our deer season.
Rifle weighed 7 pounds 4 ounces before mounting the scope.

CIC, did you ream it to 445 SM yourself or have someone do it for you? Have you slugged the bore?

Lookin good. How's it shoot? How do you like the trigger on it?

Haven't shot it yet, weather issues. Created loads using AA5744 and Acme 405 grain hi-tecs. Trigger feels quite good 'n' crisp.

Finally got the scout BO out but scope crapped out. Works fine, like the trigger.

Sorry man. This may be relevant to your interests:
Here's my V2 .300BLK shooting subsonics thru my YHM Sidewinder 9mm can with adapter. It's really hard to convey how suppressed sounds on video. It sounds like an air rifle in person. Listen to how loud my steps are compared to the shot.

I bought a 44 mag hunter last night. Hope to shoot it today.

I've got on in .44 Magnum. My has chamber has a lot of freebore so I tried increasing the OAL and accuracy jumped significantly.

[BigAlofPa.]

Thanks for the tip wbbh. My 240 grain Summers enterprises boolets i load long.

[BigAlofPa.]

Zeroed it in 50 yards. Load 200 grain Missouri bullet coated cast. 10 grains unique.

I kinda wanted to try something different with mine and bought an Optima thumbhole stock for it from CVA. Fits perfectly. https://cva.bpishopping.com/shop/sto...buttstock.html

I just picked up my first CVA rifle. V2 scout in 35 Whelen. I was wanting to do the same thing and upgrade to a thumbhole stock. When you order one from them does it come with everything you need to do a swap or are other parts also required?

It's just the bare stock.
I remember the factory bolt being too long and i added a stack of washers to make up the difference. I think you have to take your pistol grip cap off and switch it over as well.

Man, I wish we could get CVA to import the Bergara BA13 offerings available overseas. BA13 take-down in .357 mag with wood camo stocks.

[catncarp]

I have a Hunter in 44 mag and a scout in 44 mag with camo stock, also a scout in 444
here are two targets with cast bullets at 50 Yards pics are my hunter and scout in 44mag

Think I got the scope issue settled for the CVA BO. Scope was fine on 30/30, bushy 3x9, not the best. Really had to play with the burris mounts to get here, hopefully it was just my shooting. Ammo was loaded for my pistol - more work to do. Upper by 9&10 is 110 HJ, rest are mixed 145 & 170gr PB 15 & 1800 fps. Shot with caldwell front & rabbit ear rear bag this time.

A little update on mine. Had it out the other day. The 240 grain cast loaded long would not group tight. I re-crimped them at the upper grove now. I'll try them and see. My 200 grain cast and 240 grain copper plated hollow points group well.

Changed scope, did mucho better.

Does anyone have a CVA take down case I could buy? Have Scout V2 44. Called CVA last year and asked to talk to the Product manager stated he didn’t take calls. Was asking for take down case they no longer make. I would like to have one to make design improvements on and sell them. As you know the Scout has the forearm lever to “ take” down like the old model short.
