The CVA Scout .35 Whelen delivers hard-hitting performance in a compact, lightweight platform designed for hunters who demand reliability and accuracy. This single-shot rifle combines the proven Scout rifle concept with the powerful .35 Whelen cartridge, creating an ideal tool for medium to large game hunting. Built on CVA's time-tested break-action design, this rifle offers simplicity and dependability in the field.
What Makes This Different
The Scout configuration features a forward-mounted scope base that allows for rapid target acquisition while maintaining the ability to use iron sights. Unlike traditional hunting rifles with rear-mounted optics, the Scout design provides better balance and faster handling in thick cover. The .35 Whelen cartridge delivers exceptional knockdown power with less recoil than comparable magnum cartridges, making it effective on everything from whitetail to elk.
Key Features
- Single-shot break-action design for ultimate reliability and accuracy
- 22-inch barrel optimized for .35 Whelen ballistics
- Forward-mounted Weaver-style scope base for Scout rifle configuration
- Ambidextrous stock design accommodates both right and left-handed shooters
- Trigger guard opens for easy loading and unloading
- Fiber optic front sight with adjustable rear sight
- Compact 39-inch overall length for maneuverability in dense terrain
Field performance centers on the rifle's inherent accuracy potential from the single-shot platform and the .35 Whelen's proven terminal ballistics. The break-action design eliminates potential feeding issues common with magazine-fed rifles, while the Scout scope mounting system enables quick shots at moving game. Weather resistance comes from the rifle's simple mechanical design with fewer moving parts to malfunction in adverse conditions.
