CVA Scout 450 Bushmaster 22" Realtree Legacy Rifle

The CVA Scout is a break action single shot rifle, and simplicity is the whole pitch. Push the lever, the barrel drops, you load one round and close it. There is no magazine to lose, no bolt to short stroke, and almost nothing to go wrong in cold weather or wet weather. In 450 Bushmaster it becomes a straight wall cartridge deer rifle for the states that require one, throwing a heavy bullet with enough energy to end things inside 200 yards.

The 22" barrel is threaded at the muzzle, so a brake or a suppressor mounts without gunsmithing, which matters on a cartridge that pushes back this hard from a rifle this light. The stock and forend wear a Realtree Legacy camo finish, which does not care about weather or about being leaned against a tree. Scouts are popular as a second rifle for a youth hunter or as the gun that lives behind the seat of a truck, because the single shot action keeps the weight down and the rifle simple enough to hand to anyone. One shot is usually all you get on a whitetail anyway.
