The CVA Scout TD V3 .35 Whelen 22in Stainless/Black is a takedown single-shot rifle built for hunters who demand precision and portability. Chambered in the hard-hitting .35 Whelen, it pairs a 22-inch fluted stainless barrel with a threaded muzzle (5/8×24) and includes a muzzle brake. The stainless receiver wears a Picatinny/Durasight 0 MOA rail, and the black synthetic stock offers an adjustable comb and length-of-pull spacers. Ambidextrous controls and a reversible hammer spur round out the package. Per CVA specs, this rifle weighs 6.2 pounds, making it a lightweight option for backcountry or truck gun use.

Key Features
- 22″ Fluted Stainless Barrel — Why it matters: Fluting reduces weight and improves heat dissipation, keeping groups tight during strings of fire.
- Takedown Design — Why it matters: Breaks down into two compact sections for easy transport in a backpack or case, ideal for saddle hunting or hiking.
- Adjustable Comb and LOP Spacers — Why it matters: Customize cheek weld and reach to your exact dimensions, improving consistency and recoil management.
- Threaded Muzzle with Brake — Why it matters: 5/8×24 threads accept standard suppressors or brakes; the included brake cuts felt recoil noticeably in .35 Whelen.
- 0 MOA Picatinny Rail — Why it matters: Direct-mount optics without shims, and the zero MOA slope is perfect for most hunting scopes out to 300 yards.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who wants a single-shot takedown that punches hard. If you chase black bear, elk, or moose in thick timber, the .35 Whelen delivers. It’s also for shooters who value a compact, packable rifle without sacrificing a full-length barrel. The adjustable stock and ambidextrous controls make it a solid fit for lefties and righties alike.

FAQ
Is the .35 Whelen good for elk?
Yes. The .35 Whelen pushes a 250-grain bullet at ~2,400 fps, delivering energy comparable to a .338 Win Mag at closer ranges. It’s a proven elk and bear cartridge inside 300 yards.
Does the CVA Scout TD V3 come with a scope?
No. The rifle includes a 0 MOA Picatinny rail but no optics. You mount your own scope or red dot.
Can I use this rifle with a suppressor?
Yes. The 5/8×24 threaded muzzle accepts standard .30-cal and .35-cal suppressors. CVA includes a thread protector and muzzle brake.
How does the takedown system work?
The barrel separates from the receiver via a lever release. Reassembly is tool-free and locks tight. Per CVA specs, the system holds zero after repeated takedowns.
Is the stock adjustable for left-handed shooters?
Yes. The comb is reversible and the hammer spur flips sides. The ambidextrous controls make it lefty-friendly.
