The CVA Scout Takedown in 35 Whelen delivers the stopping power of a full-size rifle in a compact, portable package that breaks down for easy transport. This single-shot rifle combines the proven CVA action with modern tactical features for hunters who demand versatility without compromising performance.
What Makes This Different
The takedown design separates at the barrel-receiver junction with a simple twist mechanism, reducing overall length by nearly half for storage and transport. Unlike traditional break-action rifles, the Scout maintains zero when reassembled thanks to precision-machined lockup surfaces. The 35 Whelen cartridge provides 30-06 case capacity with .358 caliber bullets, delivering exceptional energy for large game at extended ranges.
Key Features
- Takedown action reduces rifle to 24" overall length for transport
- 22" stainless steel fluted barrel with 5/8x24 threaded muzzle
- Picatinny rail system for scope mounting and accessories
- Adjustable comb height and length of pull on synthetic stock
- Stainless steel receiver resists corrosion in harsh conditions
- Single-shot action eliminates magazine weight and bulk
- Black synthetic stock provides weather resistance and durability
The 35 Whelen cartridge excels in dense cover where quick follow-up shots are less critical than immediate stopping power. The fluted barrel reduces weight while maintaining rigidity, and the threaded muzzle accepts suppressors or muzzle brakes. Field testing shows sub-2 MOA accuracy with quality ammunition, making this rifle suitable for shots beyond 300 yards on large game.
