Ready for the woods

First off, note that neither the updated Scout model or the new Scout Takedown are reinvented; these use the same basic action as before, but with new features.

The Scout lineup uses a break-action design with a manually-cocked hammer, similar to the CVA Wolf Muzzleloader. The base model has an updated Picatinny rail for mounting optics, and a stock redesigned to more easily fit individual shooters, including adjustable length-of-pull and comb height with removable spacers. CVA also added steel sling swivel studs, instead of the old molded-in plastic studs.

For 2025, the standard Scout is available in a wide range of calibers including low-recoil options like .223 or .243, always a good choice in a light single-shot. Harder-hitting options like .308 and .45-70 are also available, and for 2025, 360 Buckhammer and 400 Legend for hunters in states requiring straight-wall cartridges. Depending on which caliber you buy, barrel length ranges from 16.25 inches to 22 inches, with weights from 6.4 pounds to 7.8 pounds. A threaded muzzle is standard on all these options. MSRP is $425; see more details here.

Then there’s the new Scout Takedown. This is the same basic idea, but with a quick-detach setup on the forearm and barrel so the whole gun comes apart for easy transportation. The muzzle is ported, and barrel length ranges from 20 to 22 inches, with weight from 6.5 pounds to 7.8 pounds. MSRP is $495; see more details here.
