Single Shot Mountain Rifle Build: CVA Scout

[bigunit]

Glad i stumbled upon this thread. Here is my 6.5 cm. I also have a 350 legend and 45-70 v2 that is converted to a smokeless muzzleloader. I put one of the new burris full field 2-8x35 scopes on it. Seems to be a great pairing. Ill be ordering another one with illumination and the e3 reticle. The 350l is a ton of fun plinking with 9mm ammo.

I have a similar 350 pistol with a folding brace and the same Burris but with illumination. 19.5” folded.

Beauty. How is the illumination and e3 reticle? I see you can also buy capped or exposed elevation turrets with zero stop.

What brace is that?

 

[Crcusmonky]

This is the brace, 8.5” offset, polymer steady brace, and apex1913 folding hinge.

MODULAR FOLDING BRACE - PICATINNY MOUNT (1913)

These Picatinny-mounted (1913) A3 Tactical Modular Braces allow you to design and build the brace that best suits your needs.

The illumination is nice just the cross hair lights up. I thought about getting the turret as well. The illumination adds 1.5-2 oz but I think it’s worth it. I had a full length scope on it but it looked weird with the pistol length barrel. I like the 2-8 because it’s so short. You get a lot of scope for the money. I think I got it from optics force on sale and used a coupon code. I think I paid about $150.

It’s about 6# but a stone cold killer, 2 for 2. I love how compact it is. If I was not is a straight wall area I probably would have gone with the 6.5 cr.

I just ordered one that has illumination. Thanks!

I think it was LRI that has a cnc mill that can thread a barrel without having to chuck it up in a lathe.

Awesome, thank you. I bought one in .243 and was starting to sweat about how to get it threaded for a can.

What does this setup weigh?

 

[Crcusmonky]

Just weighed it last night, ironically. 6# 14 oz.

It defiantly is t the 3.7 lbs they advertise.

This systems claim to fame is how compact it is. I do wiwish it was closer to 4-5# but i still like how compact it is.

Thank you! Yours is 19.5” barrel though not 14 correct?

Not that that will get it to 3.7lbs but would save a little.

 

[Crcusmonky]

Mine is 14” barrel, 19.5” length when brace is folded

I actually might get a couple inches chopped off the barrel. It’s not a long range gun. All 4 shots have been sub 100 yards.

That would make a good truck gun. Throw it in a briefcase and you are good to go.

Can you use a 9mm can on it? My largest rifle caliber can is a 30 cal.

 

[Crcusmonky]

Yes, as long as it’s rated for supersonic rounds at that barrel length. If running subsonic no problems. The 350 uses a .355 bullet. Most cans supersonic rated for 16” can handle the slow rate of fire from a 14” single
Shot. At least the few I asked said it would be fine.
