Question for CVA Scout Shooters
« on: December 10, 2012, 09:24:06 AM »
I am considering getting a CVA Scout in 35 Whelen.  Anybody have any experience with the scout in this caliber - most interested in how accurate the barrels tend to be.  Thanks.

I can't comment on the 35 but I have a "Bergara" (as they are known here) in .222Rem that I am extremely happy with.
Cheers,
Waldyo

My 35W is a Stalker not a Scout.  Only had it to the range one time with a bunch of hand loads.  So far I have only used the Hornady 200gr interlock.  Got a few loads inside 2 inches and expect to get it tighter with more work.

its not bad, Im getting 1.5 moa with a not optimized load of 44g h4895 and a 200g FTX. at 2230fps. good for 200 yards on hogs and deer. 
its not a one hole load and I dont know if it itll do better or worse if I upped the charge or played around with the seating. haven't tried, haven't needed to.
