For the hunter who wants a high-quality single-shot rifle, the SCOUT™ is the ideal choice. Its sleek, lightweight, and easy to operate design sets a new standard for affordable single-shot hunting rifles. Every stock is lightweight, 100% ambidextrous, and features CVA’s CrushZone® Recoil pad – a real plus for heavier calibers like the .35 Whelen. For 2020, the new SCOUT™ Blued/Black models are our most basic break-action centerfire rifles but are plenty of guns to get the job done for the budget-minded hunter. Whether you’re looking for a youth’s first hunting rifle or a compact truck, camp, or brush gun, the SCOUT™ is a great choice.
Over all, great fun. Plenty of videos on YouTube. I have the full size versions. Crisp trigger and Bergara barrel. Can’t ask for much more. It was heavier than expected for a compact model, weighing in at 7.9 lb, scoped. Perfect for what I wanted but may be on the heavy side for a kid.
