CVA Scout compact 7mm-08

Post by Oldbrass » Tue Feb 09, 2021 5:41 pm

Needed a low recoil replacement for my 30-06. Planned on Henry 243 youth then Picked this up for $219 NIB and had a spare leupy 3-9 I threw on it. I'm still in a neck brace so can't fire it but the wife got it on paper, it's accurate and she said it's easy to shoot with 139 Hornady American Whitetail A friend traded for 45acp reloads.👍 Lockup is solid, opens easy and weight is 5.5 pounds , excellent recoil pad 13" Length of pull 20" barrel . No fancy wood perfect beater hunting rig for a 5'7" short armed retired army grunt.. PS rifle comes with scope rail. All CVA are Bergera barrel and lifetime warranty

Sounds like a good solution to what you needed. Enjoy

Remember, it's not how many guns you have. It's how many bullets you have.

I’m liking both the rifle and the sunshine at your range. :D

Great caliber, I used it for handgun silhouette shooting a billion years ago (or so it seems like) I’m trying to remember the bullet I used but my memory is slipping a bit. Anyway that set up should serve you fine. Also liking the raised cheek piece on the stock. Nice set up with the Leupold.

We had a break in the weather, the wife won't shoot in the rain. She likes the CVA but is now inquiring about the 243 henry, she sais it's PURDY 🙄

I like the 350 Legend. But with no ammo and reloading components wont be one coming to my door anytime soon

Don't worry about getting older and still doing stupid stuff. You'll do the stupid stuff as always, only much slower. Hold my beer and watch this.......
