Description
The .35 Whelen has been quietly dropping elk, moose, and big whitetails for a century, and CVA giving it a home in the Scout TD V3 makes a lot of sense. This is a break action single shot with a takedown design, so it comes apart quick without tools and packs into a truck, boat, or backcountry camp without eating up space. The 22 inch fluted stainless steel barrel keeps weight manageable and shrugs off wet weather, and the whole rifle tips the scales at 7.8 pounds, which is enough heft to help soak up the Whelen's push.
Built to Wear a Suppressor or Brake
The muzzle comes threaded 5/8×24 with a brake installed from the factory, so you can shoot it as it sits or spin on a can without a trip to the gunsmith. The 1:14 twist stabilizes the classic .35 caliber bullet weights that made this cartridge a favorite for heavy timber and big-bodied game. Up top, a 0 MOA DuraSight Picatinny rail is already mounted on the drilled and tapped receiver, so getting a scope on it takes minutes, not an afternoon.
A Scout TD V3 That Fits You, Not the Other Way Around
CVA put real thought into the stock on this one. The black synthetic furniture is fully ambidextrous with a palm swell that works from either side, and the reversible hammer spur means lefties get the same easy cocking access as righties. Included quarter inch and half inch cheek risers let you dial in your eye alignment behind a scope, and the length of pull adjusts with a one inch spacer so it fits everyone from a smaller framed hunter to someone in heavy winter layers. Swivel studs and a recoil pad round it out.
Single shots teach discipline, and there is something satisfying about a rifle this simple chambered in a cartridge this capable. If you have been wanting a .35 Whelen without the bulk or price of a bolt gun, this Scout earns a hard look.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CVA Scout TD V3 suppressor ready?
Yes. The 22 inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24 and ships with a muzzle brake installed. Remove the brake and you can mount most .35 caliber rated suppressors directly, no gunsmithing required.
Does the Scout TD V3 in .35 Whelen come with sights?
No iron sights on this one. It comes with a 0 MOA DuraSight Picatinny rail already mounted on the drilled and tapped receiver, so you just need rings and a scope of your choice. Most owners run a standard hunting scope in the 2-10x range on this cartridge.
Is the CVA Scout good for left-handed hunters?
It is one of the better options out there for lefties. The synthetic stock is 100 percent ambidextrous with a palm swell that works from either side, and the hammer spur is reversible so you can set it up for left-hand cocking. Nothing about the break action favors one side over the other.
How does the takedown feature work on the Scout TD?
The rifle breaks down into two compact sections without any tools, which makes it easy to stash in a pack, behind a truck seat, or in a boat. Reassembly takes seconds, and the break action design keeps things simple in the field. It is a popular pick as a camp or backcountry rifle for exactly that reason.
