CVA Scout V2 Break Open 45-70 Government 22 Synthetic Black Stock Stainles

Very well made great trigger very accurate and a very great prices at buds gun shop can’t wait for deer season

Excellent product, excellent service. Delivered exactly as promised no gimmicks, no hidden fees. I will be buying from Buds again!

Gun is an Absolute beast. Loaded with hot hands loads this gun can take it but I couldn't. With solid glass it's a tack driver.

This gun is a great value. It has a very smooth light trigger that I was not expecting in a stock trigger. I bought this to use for deer season in Ohio which only allows straight cartridge calibers. It ended up being cheaper to buy a complete gun in 45-70 then to get an upper for my AR in 350 legend. Plus I now have a gun that can be used out west on larger game.

I never thought I'd purchase anything other than a black powder rifle in CVA brand. That being said, this is one accurate rifle! One of the best purchases! Also,Buds gun shop is the best!

This is a wonderful high quality rifle, I highly enjoy shooting it and looking at it, very satisfied!!

Fabulous rifle. Shoots far better than any 45-70 should

Very nice firearm. Smooth and very little recoil for a 45/70. This is heavy, especially when mounting a scope!

this is one of the best shooting single shot rifles i own , Being a single shot lovers this is one of the most accurate single shots i own and Groups 1 inch at a 100 yrds with Hornady 325 gr. if your looking for a well built rifle that shoots Great you cant go wrong with the cva scout 45/70. thanks ROBERT W SEMM. THANKS BUDS GUN SHOP FOR THE QUICK DELIVERY YOU GUYS ROCK.

I'm a big-bore fan who wants to use hard-cast lead bullets in my .45-70, but my Marlin 1895 has rifling unsuitable for HCL. Enter the CVA Scout.
Break-open, single shot, stainless steel, muzzle brake - all were desirable characteristics and so I ordered one from Bud's. No iron sights but an integral scope base, which was fine since I plan to use this rifle for long-range shooting of 300-600 yards.
Upon receipt and examination, I was impressed. A fine-looking rifle, very tight and no slack whatsoever in the action. Not certain of the ammo it will endure yet, but it is probably close to what a Ruger #1 and #3 can digest. I had on hand 90 rounds of 500gr handloads that had been intended for the 1895. Slapped a suitable scope on it, using high rings, and I was in business. Recoil was not bad at all, using 500gr bullets at circa 1200fps MV. Seems quite accurate too, and I soon had them on the paper and in the center ring at 50 yards. And here my troubles began.
After the first 20 rounds, I noticed that my groups were opening, not tightening. Scope adjustments did no good - but it was then that I noticed that the entire scope assembly was moving - the factory base had shot loose! I removed the scope and found that I did not have the proper size Allen wrench to tighten them. Thus ended my shooting day early.
Writing CVS, I was told that all was as it should be and that I would have to remove the base and reinstall using Loc-tite on the cap screws. There are also only 4 cap screws holding the base down, although there are 6 holes in the base. Only 4 holes are drilled and tapped for mounting on the rifle and I am told that is as it should be. With full-power 500gr loads, at circa 1700fps (or 400gr loads at 2000fps), recoil will be substantial and I an concerned that a mere 4 cap screws, even with Loc-tite, will not endure such service. Time will tell, beginning next week.
I like the rifle thus far, as far as its function and appearance are concerned, but I really feel that CVA should have done a better job in securing the scope mounting base on such a heavy caliber, and that provisions should have been made for use of 6 cap screws instead of just 4. Drilling and tapping 2 additional holes can't be a budget-buster, and I'll have it done myself if need be.
