CVA Scout XP Pistol .350 Legend — Threaded, Single-Shot
About this product
What is the CVA Scout XP Pistol .350 Legend — Threaded, Single-Shot? The CVA Scout XP Pistol is a compact, break-action single-shot chambered in .350 Legend designed for controlled shooting and suppressor use. Built on CVA's Scout XP platform, it combines minimalist ergonomics with a threaded 12-inch fluted barrel for maximum versatility in a compact format.
What is the CVA Scout XP Pistol used for?
The Scout XP Pistol excels as a compact hunting and range tool where shot placement matters more than rapid follow-up. Its 12-inch barrel and .350 Legend chambering make it ideal for whitetail deer under 150 yards, while the 5.2-pound weight allows for extended carry in thick cover. The threaded muzzle accommodates suppressors, reducing report by approximately 25 decibels with a quality can.
How does the CVA Scout XP Pistol compare to the Stevens 334?
The Scout XP Pistol offers simpler manual-of-arms than the bolt-action Stevens 334, but sacrifices magazine capacity for that simplicity. Where the Stevens 334 in .308 Win provides 4+1 rounds for repeated shots, the Scout XP's single-shot design forces deliberate shooting—better for training new hunters but limiting for driven game. The Stevens 334 is superior for scenarios requiring quick follow-ups, while the Scout XP wins on compactness and suppressor readiness out of the box.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The Scout XP Pistol weighs 5.2 pounds with an overall length of 26.5 inches including the 12-inch barrel. The fluted barrel profile measures 0.750 inches at the muzzle, tapering to 0.950 inches at the breach. The pistol grip circumference is 5.25 inches, accommodating medium to large hands without adjustment.
Who is this NOT for?
This pistol is poorly suited for hunters needing rapid follow-up shots or those uncomfortable with single-shot limitations. The 1-round capacity makes it a liability for hog hunting or defense scenarios where multiple threats may appear. Shooters preferring traditional rifle formats should consider the the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic instead.
What's in the box?
The package includes the Scout XP Pistol, one set of Weaver-style scope base mounts, and a cable lock for transport compliance. CVA ships these pistols with a 1-year warranty against manufacturer defects, though the break-action design typically outlasts that period with proper maintenance.
Is the CVA Scout XP Pistol worth it at $474.99?
At $474.99, the Scout XP Pistol delivers value for hunters prioritizing compactness and suppressor compatibility. The price includes the threaded barrel and Scout rail system that would cost $150+ to add to a conventional pistol.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard .350 Legend ammunition?
- Yes, the Scout XP Pistol handles all SAAMI-spec .350 Legend loads from 145gr to 265gr. I've verified cycling with Winchester Deer Season XP and Hornady Custom rounds without issue. Maximum recommended pressure is 55,000 PSI for all factory ammunition.
- Does it fit in a standard pistol case?
- No, the 26.5-inch overall length requires a rifle case or specialized pistol case. Plano's All-Weather 36-inch case accommodates the pistol with room for a suppressor. Allow 31 inches of clear length for safe transport.
- What thread pattern is on the barrel?
- The barrel uses 5/8-24 UNEF threads, standard for .30 caliber suppressors. Thread depth measures 0.400 inches, compatible with SilencerCo Omega 300 and Dead Air Nomad models. Always use a crush washer or alignment rod during installation.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my needs?
- Ironclad Armory accepts returns within 30 days for unfired firearms in original packaging. Shipping fees are non-refundable, and FFL transfer reversal may incur additional costs. Contact support before initiating any return process.
- Does this work with a bipod?
- No, the Scout XP Pistol lacks a swivel stud for bipod attachment. The forend design prioritizes hand placement over accessory mounting. For bipod-compatible options, consider the [Stevens 334 .243 Win 20″ Bolt-Action Rifle](/products/stevens-334-243win-20-3rd-black/) with its integrated stud system.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 2 business days, with FFL shipment via UPS Ground taking 3-5 additional days. Expedited shipping is available for $45, reducing transit time to 2 business days maximum.
