About this product
What is the CVA Scout TD V3 Rifle 6mm ARC 20 in. Stainless/Black? It's a takedown single-shot rifle engineered for portability and suppressor-ready field use, with a 20-inch stainless steel barrel and integrated Picatinny rail. Chambered in 6mm ARC, it weighs 6.2 lbs and breaks down to a compact 25.5 inches for transport. Built with a black synthetic stock and ambidextrous operation, it's ideal for backcountry hunters and precision shooters who prioritize reliability over rapid fire.
What is the CVA Scout TD V3 Rifle used for?
This rifle is designed for hunting and precision shooting in rugged, remote terrain where compact transport and suppressor use are critical. Its single-shot operation forces disciplined shot placement, making it effective for varmint control or medium-game hunting at ranges up to 300 yards. The threaded muzzle (5/8x24) accepts suppressors, reducing report to approximately 140 dB with a quality can.
How does the CVA Scout TD V3 compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win?
The Scout TD V3 is better for packability and suppressor integration, weighing 1.8 lbs less than the 8.0 lb Stevens 334 and disassembling to 42% of its transport length. However, the Stevens 334 offers a 4-round detachable magazine and faster follow-up shots, making it superior for rapid-target scenarios like driven hunts.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight is 6.2 lbs (100.8 oz), with an overall length of 37.5 inches assembled and 25.5 inches when broken down. The 20-inch barrel has a 1:7.5 twist rate for stabilizing heavy 6mm ARC projectiles, and the stock measures 13.5 inches length of pull.
Who is this NOT for?
Avoid this rifle if you need rapid successive shots or high magazine capacity—it holds only one round and requires manual extraction after each fire. It’s ill-suited for competitive shooting or home defense where the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win offers faster cycling and higher capacity.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle broken down into two sections: the barreled action and synthetic stock, along with a single 6mm ARC chamber flag and owner's manual. No optics, mounts, or cleaning tools are included—plan to add a quality scope and suppressor separately.
Is the CVA Scout TD V3 worth it at $474.99?
At $474.99, it's a fair value for a dedicated precision platform with suppressor readiness and takedown convenience, costing $225 less than a comparable custom single-shot. Invest in a the muzzle device if you don't run a can, as the bare threads leave the crown exposed.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard 6mm ARC ammunition?
- Yes, it chambers any SAAMI-spec 6mm ARC round from manufacturers like Hornady or Federal. Avoid reloads exceeding 52,000 PSI chamber pressure to prevent wear on the single-shot breech.
- Does it fit in a standard 36-inch rifle case?
- When disassembled, the 25.5-inch total length fits most compact cases like the Plano All-Weather 36-inch model. Assembled length is 37.5 inches, requiring a larger case for transport.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- Ground shipping to Bozeman takes 5-7 business days via FedEx, with adult signature required upon delivery. Expedited options cut this to 2-3 days for an added $35 fee.
- Can I return it if the barrel threads are damaged?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for manufacturing defects, but thread damage from improper suppressor mounting voids warranty. Inspect threads upon arrival using a 5/8x24 gauge.
