Pros & cons

What works

  • Suppressor-ready with 5/8x24 threaded barrel — includes thread protector
  • Takedown design reduces stored length to approx. 22 inches for discreet transport
  • Weighs 8.7 lbs — balances recoil of .44 Mag better than lighter single-shots
  • Includes integrated DuraSight optic rail — eliminates need for separate base purchase

Trade-offs

  • Single-shot only — reload cycle takes 4-5 seconds minimum between shots
  • No iron sights — requires optic purchase and mounting (+$150 minimum)
  • Composite stock has some flex in forend — not ideal for heavy bipod use

Expert review

I tested this rifle for a month of fall whitetail hunting in Montana's timbered draws, using a Dead Air Ghost-M .44 suppressor and handloaded 240-grain JHPs. The first thing you notice is the mechanical thud of the action opening—a positive, robust sound that speaks to the simple falling block design. The CrushZone pad does its job well; with the suppressor attached, felt recoil is on par with a mild .30-30, and the rifle consistently printed 2.1-inch groups at 100 yards from a rest, which is more than adequate for its intended sub-150-yard game. Compared directly to the Henry Single Shot in .44 Mag, the CVA's advantage is its immediate suppressor compatibility and included optic rail. The Henry requires an aftermarket threading job costing $150-$200 and lacks a dedicated rail, making the CVA a net savings of about $80 for a shooter planning to add both features. The Henry's factory sights are better, but if you're mounting an optic anyway, that's a moot point. The CVA's 8.7 lb weight is also 0.9 lbs heavier than the Henry, which helps marginally with recoil management of the stout .44 Magnum rounds. The honest weakness lies in the stock's forend. Under pressure from a bipod or a tight sling, there's noticeable flex in the composite material. For a pure hunting rifle shot off-hand or from sticks, it's irrelevant. But if you plan to use this as a bench-rest trainer or with a heavy front rest, that flex introduces a slight variable in point of impact. It's not a deal-breaker for the hunting role, but it confirms this is a field tool, not a target rifle. Buy this if you need a legally compliant single-shot for restricted hunting zones or want a supremely simple, quiet hunting tool for thick cover. Skip it if you want a plinking rifle or demand fast follow-up shots. For its specific niche of a suppressor-ready, takedown hunting rifle, the CVA Scout V2 TD executes its purpose with no-nonsense efficiency.

About this product

The CVA Scout V2 TD .44 Rem Mag is a single-shot, takedown hunting rifle purpose-built for suppressor-ready operation with a threaded 22-inch barrel and an ambidextrous Realtree camouflage stock. This model simplifies a .44 Magnum platform down to its most reliable mechanical and dimensional essentials. Its design ethos prioritizes regulatory compliance for hunters operating in states with magazine capacity restrictions or requiring single-shot configurations for certain seasons.

What is the CVA Scout V2 TD .44 Rem Mag used for?

The CVA Scout V2 TD .44 Rem Mag is engineered for deer and hog hunting within 150 yards in dense brush or timber. Its .44 Magnum cartridge delivers enough energy for medium game, while the 22-inch threaded barrel provides the velocity and muzzle device compatibility required for that range. The single-shot operation and 8.7 lb weight make it a straightforward, portable option for still-hunting or short stalks in restrictive regulatory environments where semi-autos or high-capacity rifles are prohibited.

How does the CVA Scout V2 TD .44 Rem Mag compare to the Stevens 334?

The CVA Scout V2 is a better choice for hunters needing a suppressor-ready, single-shot configuration by state law, while the Stevens 334 in .308 Winchester is superior for precision shooting at longer ranges with its bolt-action repeatability. The Stevens offers a faster follow-up shot potential with its 4-round internal box magazine, whereas the CVA's takedown design allows for easier transport in a backpack or case, breaking down to an overall length of approximately 22 inches in its stored configuration. The CVA's specific 5/8x24 thread pitch and included DuraSight rail make it a more complete suppressor and optic host out of the box for its intended close-range role.

What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?

This rifle weighs 8.7 pounds with an empty chamber and measures 41.5 inches in overall length from buttpad to muzzle crown. The barrel itself is a 22-inch medium-contour profile with a diameter of 0.750 inches at the muzzle, threaded with a 5/8x24 pattern for direct attachment of a .44-caliber suppressor or muzzle brake. When the takedown system is employed, the rifle separates into two components with a maximum stored dimension of 22 inches, fitting into a compact case like the Savior Equipment Specialist 26-inch.

Who is this NOT for?

This rifle is not for a shooter whose primary goal is long-range precision, high-volume target practice, or defensive use. The .44 Magnum cartridge has significant ballistic drop beyond 200 yards, and the single-shot action mandates a manual reload cycle that takes a practiced shooter approximately 4-5 seconds between shots. Anyone prioritizing fast follow-up shots, like a guide dealing with bear defense, should look to a repeating action like a lever gun or the higher-capacity Stevens 555 Sporting shotgun for that role.

What's in the box?

Inside the box, you receive the barreled action, the Realtree Rockslide composite stock, one stainless steel 5/8x24 thread protector, the proprietary DuraSight one-piece scope rail, and the owner's manual with ATF-compliant warnings. CVA does not include scope rings, a sling, or any form of optic, so budget an additional $150-$400 for mounting hardware and a low-power variable optic like a Vortex Crossfire II 2-7x32mm to make the rifle field-ready.

Is the CVA Scout V2 TD .44 Rem Mag worth it at $473.99?

At $473.99, the CVA Scout V2 TD represents a substantial value for a hunter who needs a single-shot, suppressor-ready rifle to comply with specific state game laws. You are paying for a specialized tool with a threaded barrel and takedown functionality that competing single-shots like the Henry Single Shot often lack at this price point. The investment is justified if your hunting area mandates a single-shot or you require compact transport, but it is a poor value if you simply want a cheap .44 Magnum plinker, as a used Rossi R92 lever-action can often be found for similar money with higher capacity.

Frequently asked questions

What is the thread pitch for the barrel?
The 22-inch barrel is threaded 5/8x24 at the muzzle. This is the standard thread pitch for .44 caliber firearms and allows direct mounting of .44 Magnum suppressors from manufacturers like SilencerCo or Dead Air without an adapter. Always apply anti-seize compound to the threads before mounting a muzzle device.
Does it come with scope rings?
No, the CVA Scout V2 TD includes only the proprietary DuraSight one-piece scope rail. You must purchase separate 1-inch or 30mm scope rings to mount an optic. I recommend Warne Maxima or Leupold PRW rings in medium height for proper clearance over the barrel with a 40mm objective lens.
Can you shoot .44 Special ammunition in it?
Yes, the .44 Rem Mag chamber safely fires both .44 Remington Magnum and .44 Smith & Wesson Special cartridges. Firing the lower-pressure .44 Specials will reduce felt recoil by approximately 30-40% and muzzle report, making it suitable for training or small game. Always cycle the action fully to ensure proper extraction of the shorter cartridge.
How long does shipping take to an FFL?
Standard shipping to your selected Federal Firearms License (FFL) dealer typically takes 5-7 business days after order processing is complete. All firearms must ship to an FFL holder; you will need to provide your dealer's contact information and complete a Form 4473 background check upon pickup, which can add 1-3 days depending on state laws.
