CVA SCOUT Rifle

Anyone got any 1st hand experience with these break open single shots in either the .223 or .243. The majority of the reviews are favorable regarding accuracy/weight/with the occasional "I got a bad gun" review thrown in, but you can get a bad (insert any brand name here). Trying to line up some farms and such to maybe stalk some groundhogs and want something light but pretty accurate, and cheap. I already have a .223 varmit rig but it's too heavy to lug around out in the fields, so looking for light and simple. I like the looks, I handled and held one, shouldered it, etc., and it seemed like a good gun for the purpose but I've never shot a 5.5 -6# gun in these calibers. I don't like recoil, so don't recommend the hot rod rigs with recoil and blast.

No experience with CVA but my handi rifle is break open single shot in .223 and works a-ok. Very accurate, especially after a trigger job I did. Pretty cheap and simple. A bolt action in either .223 or .243 would work fine also and are fairly inexpensive. Neither of these calibers have much recoil to speak of.

I own the CVA Scout pistol in .243 and it shoots great. Comparing it too the TC Contender models the quality is good and has a great price point. I've become a handgun hunter and hopefully they will add additional caliber barrels.

Groundhogs?
You need a .17HMR
And a Chiappa Little Badger

I like that little chippawa
