Ultimate Backcountry ML?

[coacht84]

Just sharing my CVA Wolf that I use for backcountry elk in Idaho. The mods/adds are twice the price I paid for the Wolf, but I just couldn't resist. Folded length is <30" making it awesome for brush busting the overgrown trails we ride to get to our spots. I'll include as much info as I can in the comments to get ahead of some of the questions, but feel free to ask anything. Let me know what you think.

Uglier than hell - but I like it! lol. What’s the total weight?

Definitely won't win any beauty contest with us old timers but looks pretty functional.

Aesthetics never even crossed my mind. Haha. Just checked the weight and it's 7.2# Damn. That takes it out of the "ultimate backcountry ML" class for me. It's working fine and is comfortable to shoot at this weight though. I might play around with different stocks. I think I can cut almost 2 #s if I want to, but it might thump pretty hard.

Thanks for sharing. Always good to see other projects.

What is the purpose/benefit of the folding stock? Compactness for packing?

Good thing the elk RARELY think about how pretty the gun is before they get shot. Just kidding. I know it's ugly and real MLs are a work of art.

Nice and compact though. Yes, I like something closer to 6lbs for backcountry. I’ve got two muzzys that are right at 6 lbs - a carbon fiber barreled White and a TC X7. Great choices on the sights!

Yes, especially on the dirt bike. Folding down shorter than the width of my handlebars is a nice advantage, especially on the brushed in trails I ride.
