You have a factory muzzle brake on your CVA break barrel rifle.
just teasing since the folks above were having a spelling lesson. I was never very good at spelling and autocorrect has only made me worse at it.
CVA scout VS Henry single shot?

Yes here’s the CVA 444 Marlin that breaks up the muzzle blast. Oh and it comes with a Bergara barrel.

45-70 is just easier for me, I've got a ruger 77/357 that I technically could use if I left the magazine at home and just used it as a single shot . I considered it as I have an excellent 150 yard load . I think dedicated hunting single would be a good investment
Say my friend it has been awhile.
Question I have is in regards of that Ruger77/357. Have you checked on line to see if there is a magazine sled for that rifle to make it a single shot? I know they have them for many of the Savage and Remington rifles.
Also which rifle are you shooting the 45-70? Isn't that a lever rifle?

Hey!
I could definitely use the 77/357 or the lever action Henry (45-70) but I figured I'd pick up a simple inexpensive single shot specifically for hunting. Really don't want to put a scope on my henry, so new single shot with a new scope and I'm just trying to decide what my best path is.
As I understand , I could just leave the magazine at home and single load but I think it's a good opportunity to pick up something new

Knowing what your likes/dislikes are and your intended use I think I would go with the CVA and then put some nice glass on it.
If you go that route in 45-70 I'd sure like to try it out.. BTW I haven't come across any more decent brass for ya.

Don't forget that Traditions is making a break action single shots now. I had a CVA in 44 magnum that was horribly inaccurate.

Never knew, I'll check them out. Thanks!
I'm told CVA's barrels are made by bergara, I was under the impression the barrel was the best part of the CVA.
Going to look at the traditions offerings.
#1. The thing on the barrel that mitigates rise and recoil is a”brake” like on your car.
#2. Site is a place, Sight is what you use to aim over.
#3. Vise is a holding device. Vice is a bad habit or deviant behavior.
That said, I’m using a single shot, break open rifle without a brake chambered in 357 magnum which I bore sighted and verified at 100 yards distance from the bench site.
Sorry to be an ass about it. No, I’m not.

My .44 Magnum CVA shoots just fine. I may have said this already, a few days ago I was back home and went to the range with my new 1895 GBL to do some practice shooting and get a little break in on the rifle. It was a busy day and nearly every slot was taken. I would say that at least 1/3 of the rifles were CVA Scouts, a few CVA muzzleloaders V2s and some Henry single shots to round it off. None of them seemed to be having any difficulty pelting the targets plenty fine for killing a deer.
I think this MOA thing, is it a thing(?), is getting out of hand. These are not bench rest rifles, they are hunting rifles and low end ones at that. As to accuracy and the .44 Magnum, I am shooting cast lead and the FTX bullets and another Hornady 240, forget what it is and I am getting good groups, not MOA but good enough considering I have a cheap 2.5X scope with pretty thick cross hairs. The Bergara barrel is smooth and has cleanly cut rifling. I need to slug the bore.

I don't have any experience with the Henry single shots, but I do have a CVA Scout in 300BLK that I have been very pleased with. The trigger is excellent, and the rifle is made with hunting in mind.
I'm sure a model in 45-70 would be a shoulder thumper, but I assume you are prepared for that.
