Description
CVA has been building dependable single shot guns for decades, and the Scout XP pistol takes everything folks like about the Scout rifle line and shrinks it into a package you can carry all day without noticing. At the heart of it is an 11.5 inch matte stainless steel barrel with fluting that trims weight and helps the barrel shed heat between shots. Chambered in .223 Remington, it gives you a flat shooting, low recoil cartridge in a platform that is simple, tough, and easy to live with.
A Scout XP Built for the Suppressor Crowd
The muzzle comes threaded 5/8×24 with a protector installed, so screwing on a can or a muzzle brake takes about a minute. Short barreled, suppressed single shots have become one of the most popular setups for varmint work and quiet range sessions, and this one was clearly designed with that in mind. Up top, a factory installed Picatinny rail gives you a solid, no fuss mounting point for a red dot, LPVO, or pistol scope, whichever fits how you plan to use it.
Simple Break Action, Serious Utility
There is a lot to be said for a break action. Open it, drop a round in, close it, and you know exactly what state the gun is in. No magazines to lose, no springs to wear out, and cleaning is about as easy as it gets. The graphite black XP pistol grip fills the hand well and keeps the whole gun controllable, while the compact format makes it a natural for a truck, a blind, or a pack. New shooters appreciate how straightforward it is, and experienced hands appreciate how little can go wrong.
Why the Scout XP Pistol Earns a Spot
Between the stainless construction, the weather resistant synthetic furniture, and the modular DNA shared with the rest of the Scout XP family, this is a gun built to get used, not babied. If you have been wanting a compact .223 that does one thing at a time and does it well, the CP801 is a smart way to get there.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CVA Scout XP pistol suppressor ready?
Yes. The 11.5 inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24 and ships with a thread protector installed. That is the most common thread pitch for .223 and .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle devices, so most cans will spin right on without adapters.
Does the Scout XP CP801 come with sights or an optic?
It does not include iron sights or an optic, but it comes with a Picatinny rail installed from the factory. That rail accepts red dots, pistol scopes, and standard rings, so you can set it up however suits your use. Most owners run either a compact red dot or a low power scope on these.
What is the CVA Scout XP 223 pistol good for?
It shines as a varmint and predator gun, a compact option for blinds and truck duty, and a fun low recoil range piece. The .223 chambering keeps ammo affordable and easy to find, and the light recoil makes it comfortable for extended sessions. Its short overall length also makes it a favorite for hunters who want something packable.
How does loading and unloading work on this break action pistol?
It works like a classic break open gun. Release the action, hinge the barrel down, place a single round in the chamber, and close it back up. There is no magazine or bolt to fool with, which keeps operation simple and makes the gun very easy to clean and maintain.
