First CVA centerfire single shot

[244ack]

Love my CVA 45/70; great trigger
Shot cast bullets from 330 grain to 550 grain with great accuracy
Picture was 400 grain

Picked up the rifle a few days ago. Fit and finish seems very good, trigger is outstanding. No creep that I can detect. Seems a little heavy but I won’t be hiking much with it so that will help it settle down on the bags/rest better when shooting on my range.

Hammer extension. I am a lefty so need to move it to the other side. Does it simply unscrew counter clockwise?

Congrats. I think you're gonna be happy with this rifle. These are a solid chunk of steel for sure. I was surprised at the weight of my little 16" barrel .300BLK. My trigger is awesome as well. Got to be <3lbs and crisp. I think the extension does just unscrew.

Gotta get some pics up though.

@lar45 CVA doesn't do any interchangeable barrels but the rifles are cheap enough to just buy several.

I had and just sold a CVA Scout V2 in .45-70 and have a CVA Hunter in .45-70 on order.

The Scout V2 model has a 23" bbl, not their advertised 25" - it is 25", but only when the muzzle brake is screwed on, whereas the Hunter's bbl is a full 25".

Has anyone shot both the scout and hunter side by side? And could tell if their was a difference in the guns. I was just wondering if it would be worth getting one over the other.
Naturally how the action is operated is obviouce. Which i find the action release in the rear of the trigger better looking.

With my Scout V2, the trigger guard action lever was HARD to operate.

With my Scout V2, the trigger guard action lever was HARD to operate.

I would have taken that over mine, which sometimes opened upon recoil... and other times shot 18MOA off course. But polishing the action lugs had fixed it, now it shoots 1MOA with iron sights, if I do my part.

Good luck OP!

Yes they do.

If ever you wanted to play with a new cartridge this is as good as it gets for a good build on a single shot rifle for cheap. I was pleasantly surprised with the quality of the lock up , great trigger , very packable gun in meaningful cartridges. I found a used 300 BO in Camo for $250.00 I like this platform a TD Camo in 6.5 C is on the list .
I could never warm up to the Handi Rifles just don’t like them,lock up was always cheesy to me.

I wish Bergara would import the BA13 over here. Love this rifle.

[Jedman]

Yea I would really like to own a fine wood stocks for my rifle. I have thought of trying to make my own but with so many other projects to finish, it just never happened.

That's the one I want. I wouldn't even be picky about the cartridge.

Yeah I'd be all over that. They do have it in calibers we don't see much of like .222, 6.5x57R, and 8x57JRS. As well as 45-70 which I figured would be your huckleberry.

[Texas by God]

Steve, the 45-70 is fun- but the 8x57mm cast a spell on me long ago and is great with cast also. I'd have to go there if pigs start flying and those get imported. Thanks for sharing that- I didnt know they existed.

I got a traditions 44 mag single shot. It was cheep and shoots great . I wanted the cva but this one was to good of a deal. Good trigger.I would like to upgrade to a nice wood stock also. My rifle has a lother Walther fluted heavy barrel. They are a good deal.

I picked up the CVA Hunter in 35 Remington on a close out at KY Guns. I can't remember exactly, but it was surely under $200... and it IS a tack driver with the 200 gr FTX ammo from Hornady.

I looked up my old posts about this rifle, and it looks like I paid $165 on a close out sale for it. The best centerfire rifle I've ever had for under $200.

Just took receipt of a CVA Hunter in .45-70, nice. Need to trick it out a bit, first.

[cwlongshot]

Im wanting to try one in 35 Remington. Traditions make/sells same gun. One listed the caliber.

Bergara builds the CVAs.

The Traditions had a Lothar Walther barrel. Not sure who builds the actions but they aren't the same gun.

My Traditions "Outfitter"357 mag (looks exactly like Urquell's 1st pic) says," Mfg by Ardesa, Spain"
