CVA Scout V3 .35 Whelen 22-inch Threaded Rifle

The CVA Scout V3 .35 Whelen 22-inch Threaded Rifle is a modern single-shot break-action built for hunters who want a simple, reliable rifle that hits hard. Chambered in .35 Whelen, it pairs a 22-inch threaded blued barrel with a Stealth Grey synthetic stock, making it ready for the field right out of the box. The factory-installed Picatinny rail and 5/8×24 muzzle threads let you mount optics or a suppressor without any gunsmithing.

Key Features

• Break-Action Design — Why it matters: It’s dead-simple to operate, with fewer moving parts than a bolt-action, so you can load and shoot fast in the field.
• 22-Inch Threaded Barrel — Why it matters: The 5/8×24 threads let you attach a suppressor or muzzle brake without a gunsmith, keeping your setup quiet or taming recoil.
• Factory-Installed Picatinny Rail — Why it matters: Mount a scope or red dot in minutes, without drilling or tapping. You’re ready to sight in right away.
• .35 Whelen Chambering — Why it matters: This cartridge delivers serious energy on big game like elk and bear, with manageable recoil compared to magnums.
• Stealth Grey Synthetic Stock — Why it matters: It’s lightweight, weather-resistant, and won’t warp in rain or snow, so you can hunt in any conditions.

Who It’s For

This rifle is built for the hunter who values simplicity and reliability over magazine capacity. It’s a great choice for new shooters who want a single-shot to learn on, or for experienced hunters who need a backup gun that’s easy to pack and quick to shoulder. If you’re after a straight-shooting rifle for deer, black bear, or elk, the Scout V3 fits the bill.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Simple break-action, threaded barrel for suppressors, optics-ready rail, accurate .35 Whelen chambering, lightweight synthetic stock.
• Cons: Single-shot design means no quick follow-up shots — you’ll need to reload manually after each round.
