CVA sigle shot scout TD 45-70

[cosmoline one]

With the muzzlebreak, Did it come with a thread protector if you want to remove the muzzlebreak?
What do you think of the muzzlebreak?

[cosmoline one]

Any one own one of these?

Looking at the CVA website, I don't think the single shots are going to be around much longer. They've pared it down to just three models and all are listed as out of stock.

Mine did and I have no intention of ever using it, so if you want you can have it

My rifle did, though I have been unable to get the the brake loose to replace it. Rifle is great so far

That is a very generous offer. I'll PM you thanks

[cosmoline one]

Also. my forearm seems a little loose. Anyone adjust theirs? Any tips?

There is a good youtube on how to tighten the fore end , there's a set screw that adjusts with a small metric Allen key.

Thanks for the replies. I'm not really planning on more than trapdoor level loads, but does anyone know What type of loads these single shots can handle?

They can use Marlin load levels. I asked the company and thats what they said.

CVA says 40K max pressure, same as Marlin. This works for me as I scored a bunch of Accurate 1680 powder - for which there is no 45-70 load data I can find. I CAN find load data for 450 Bushmaster, which is the same pressure level. Pressure which would be too much for a trapdoor, which is probably why its not listed.

If I'm not mistaken, the .450 has lower case volume so that data should be perfectly fine in a strong .45-70.

I got 10 Lb of WC680 from Shady Grady for $150 (plus shipping) WC680 = Alliant 1680

At 32 grains per round, I can load 2,200 round of 45-70 with it. Maybe more, I'm going to start out with something like 20 grains and work up, this powder is 33 years old and from a "test lot" so it most likely differs from modern powder one way or the other. But it has no odor and looks like it was made yesterday.

The only published data for this that matches anything I have is for 7.62x39

I picked up one of these a while back, I loaded some 440 grain gc cast, it zipped over the chrony at 1735 fps.
it's sighted in for 100 yds, it is only about 3.5 inches low at 200 yds, the 540 grain RN clock in at 1420 fps.
I took the muffler off my CVA 45-70, I have never shot the rifle with the brake on it, if anyone wants it let me know.
Mufflers are for cars not rifles.

What sort of accuracy are you guys getting with your .45-70 Scouts? OR I guess any caliber Scout?

I am considering getting one.

Thanks,
