CVA SCOUT STAINLESS STEEL SINGLE SHOT 45/70 RIFLE

TODAY WAS DAY 1 WITH MY NEW RIFLE AND I AM VERY EXCITED SO FAR! I HAVE ALWAYS LOVED THE 45/70 AND HAD TWO DIFFERENT LEVER GUNS. I SOLD BOTH OF THEM AND REALLY WANTED SOMETHING SIMPLE. LESS MOVING PARTS THAN A LEVER GUN. NOTHING REALLY EXPENSIVE LIKE THE FALLING BLOCKS OR RUGER#1. NO $1000 DOLLAR PRICE TAGS.
I LOOKED FOR THE OLD HANDI RIFLE AND THEY WERE GONE. I FINALLY FOUND THE CVA AND HAD JUST BEEN LOOKING AT THE BERGARA COMPANIES PRECISION SNIPER STYLE WEAPON. I READ A BUNCH OF HISTORY ABOUT THEIR COMPANY IN SPAIN AND THE PROCESS OF PRECISION BARRELS THAT THEY PRODUCE. THIS RIFLE HAS ALL THE FEATURES I WANTED. SIMPLE SYNTHETIC STOCK FOR ALL WEATHER HUNTING. A STAINLESS BARREL AND ACTION. A GREAT CRISP TRIGGER. A WEAVER RAIL ALREADY MOUNTED. A VERY NICE MUZZLE BREAK FOR THE DAYS I LOAD SOME HIGH POWERED STUFF. THE BREAK OPEN LEVER IS BUILT RIGHT INTO THE TRIGGER GUARD. I HAVE ALONG HISTORY OF HAND LOADING AND REALLY ENJOY "PRECISION SHOOTING" NO BENCH REST LEVEL BUT AT LEAST GETTING 3 BULLETS TO TOUCH AT 100 YARDS AS MY STARTING POINT. THIS RIFLE PULLED THAT OFF EASILY WITH THE FIRST 3 SHOT. ( I DID FIRE 3 FOULING SHOTS WITHOUT A SCOPE.) MY LOAD IS CLEARLY COVERED IN THE VIDEO BUT PLEASE KNOW THAT IT IS MINE AND NOT YOUR. I TAKE NO RESPONSIBILITY FOR YOUR LOADS, GUNS OR ANYTHING ELSE. I PLAN ON DOING ABOUT 50 VIDEOS CENTERED AROUND THIS NEW RIFLE. MY SCOUT RIFLE IS WELL WORTH THE $400 BUCK I GAVE FOR IT. I PURCHASED IT FROM SPORTSMAN WAREHOUSE IN MISSISSIPPI. I BOUGHT IT ONLINE WITH A CREDIT CARD. THEY SENT ME AN EMAIL AND RECEIPT RIGHT AWAY. I USED MY CASHAPP CARD SO TRACKING WAS QUICK AND SPOT ON. A FEW DAYS LATER SPORTSMAN WAREHOUSE CALLED ME UP AND SAID.....YOUR RIFLE
JUST CAME IN. I DROVE 2 HOURS, FILLED OUT THE FEDERAL FIREARMS FORM ON A SMALL HANDHELD PAD. A FEW MINUTES LATER I WAS ROLLING HOME. MY ONLY HESITATION WAS THAT THE MAJORITY OF TH-cam REVIEW VIDEOS ARE SEVERAL YEARS OLD AND GROUPED "OK" BUT NOT NEAR AS GOOD AS I "THOUGHT" IT COULD WITH A HEAVY STAINLESS BAGARA BARREL (25"). THE BARREL IS ALSO FREE FLOATED WITH THE SHORT FOREARM GRIP ITS INTERESTED THEY GOT THAT SO RIGHT. $409 WAS MY COST PLUS TAX. FOR WHAT YOU GET IT IS HARD TO BEAT. MY SCOPE IS A LOW PRICED BARSKA 3X9 WITH DUPLEX RETICLES. NOTHING FANCY. PLEASE MAKE SURE YOU PULL THE WEAVER RAIL OFF AND CLEAN THE 4 SCREWS AND HOLES WITH BRAKE CLEANER OR BIRCHWOOD CASEY BLASTER. LOCTITE AS USUAL. HANDLOADING IS THE ONLY WAY TO GO WITH THE 45/70 IF YOU WANT TO DO SOME FUN CHEAP TARGET PRACTICE. WITH PROPER SAND PIT YOU CAN RE-USE YOUR BULLETS AS WELL.

MANY MORE VIDEOS COMING YOUR DIRECTION .
P.S. I DID FIX THE SCOPE RING "GAP" WITH ADJUSTMENT OF TOP RING SCREWS!!!
THANKS
