Dry fire single action CVA scout?

[DawnPatrol]

Howdy everyone,

I just got a CVA scout in 243. Stoked to turn it into a “hobbit” rifle for my kids (and probably me, let’s be honest).

Anyone out there consistently dry fire a single action rifle like this? Any problems or concerns about doing that?

With my bolt guns, dry firing has been a big help for my shooting ability and comfort with the gun. Just wanted to make sure it was ok to do with the CVA (never owned a single action before).

Thanks!

Invest in snap caps and you won't have to worry

Snap caps are well worth the investment if you want to dry fire a lot. I used a spent cartridge so I could try the trigger and show it off to a couple friends. The owners manual says not to dry fire. Google explained why

Not really sure why it'd be any different than any other centerfire, but it'd be a good excuse to get a snap cap.

Thanks everyone! Snap caps it is.
