I have the Midwest Industries Alpha on my CVA. 1.5lbs, probably not as light as others but it folds and offers a lot of adjustment. Folds either way, plenty of LOP, cheek riser, and butt up or down. Quite nice.What are you guys using for a sturdy lightweight pic rail stock option?

Actually I was talking about buttstock options that are preferably fairly light weightIf you’re talking forend, I’m planning to put a universal pic rail on the factory stock between the two barrel screws. It’s already flat and shouldn’t take much more than drilling a few holes.

I'll try to remember to measure for ya when I get out of the woods.Do you know the overall folded length without the suppressor?
Just under 22".Do you know the overall folded length without the suppressor?
Awesome. That's just about perfect for a travel rifle if the accuracy is there. Now I think I need one. Thank you for the measurement.Just under 22".
If you can fire it folded, that is a problem. An overall length of less than 26 inches is an NFA item, same as an SBR.Just under 22".
Yeah, you go ahead and do that. I wouldn't pay a $200 extortion fee to the govt for a rifle that has a legal rifle length barrel. No different than those street sweeper shotguns with pistol grips. The ATF can go pound sand.If you can fire it folded, that is a problem. An overall length of less than 26 inches is an NFA item, same as an SBR.
I think the law is stupid, but I also think it is not worth the risk of a felony with 10 years in prison and $250,000 fine to break stupid laws.
Might be worth $200 and SBR the receiver.
You may be right, I hope you are as I really like the idea, I just have no clear answer. If you get one, please update.I'll have to read more into this, I was under the impression that because the rifle is designed to be shot using the stock in its unfolded position it was fine. I do so love the arbitrary bullshit hoops and interpretations we have to go through. Until I straighten it out I'll go ahead and remove the stock then tack the can on there. Fuckboi feds.
In my example accuracy is quite good. It's a .300blk, not exactly a precision cartridge and I was using AAC 220 "subs" that averaged out to 1123 fps in these groups. Using an ACSS reticle at 50 yards off a bag. If I recall correctly they use Bergara barrels.Awesome. That's just about perfect for a travel rifle if the accuracy is there. Now I think I need one.

I so badly wish CVA would sell the Scout in 223. My son is wanting to get behind the gun next season. Unless he grows quite a bit in the next 12 months, I don't really want him fighting with more recoil or rifle weight than absolutely necessary.
At this point, I'm stuck between a 243 Scout or an AR in 223/5.56, but not terribly excited about either.
Agreed. Huge price difference though.How about a Tikka? You could put it in a bravo, a chassis, or other shortet stock.
I think the end product would be better overall
