Love my Leupold…ya just need to know how to work the Zero-Stop. Glass is super clear and the Leupolds are considerably lighter than their competition and…made in the good ole US of A!!! After that…it’s all good from there.

[@carpentryandguns6752]

CVA scout in 45-70 is the absolute softest recoil in the 45-70 you will ever experience. And the trigger is amazing.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

I love it

[@TheCodyO]

I got my dad a henry big boy in 45-70.. recoil is nothing due to all the weight. Im sure that muzzle break makes it that much better.

[@richardhillier442]

I really hope this is a wake up call for other arms producers. CVA has nailed a $350 slinger that drops 45-70 into under an inch consistently. Not sure what their voodoo majic is but am saving for one in 35 Whelen. Whole unit is cheaper than a barrel for my T/C Encore.

[@usafret4709]

I have a 6.5 Creedmoor and a 7mm-08 Scout. I love them as well. Both barrels are at Silencer Central being threaded for my Banish 30. Great little blind rifles. Little project on the 7mm-08, I am installing a Sharp's Bros pistol grip and an AR style folding buttstock. It will be the ultimate compact rifle.

Have the CVA Hunter version in 45-70. Amazing trigger, with 325 Hornadys and a 50 yard zero it’ll shoot awesome groups. Thanks for the video!

Totally agree 👍

The 45/70 and 35 Whelen break actions with scopes qualify for use in the Missippi primitive weapon deer seasons

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Awesome

[@billy19461]

Interesting. What was the rationale behind allowing specifically 35 Whelen?

[@rustyarnold7692]

@@rustyjohnson9558 not the 35 Whelen specifically. Has to be 35 caliber or larger, exposed hammer, breech loaded, single shot. They just didn’t know what a beast the 35 whelen is lol.

[@DadWil]

I had a friend that used fling cast boo-lots outa a falling block 45-70... it was his preferred boo-lot flinger for the UP black powder deer catching season... ~ 3 years ago he went to walk with the Lord.

[@CB-ck6ze]

That’s how the CDS dial works. Have to remove the turret to get the elevation turret dialed in. Then reinstall. On my VX6 I didn’t even remove the turret, just loosened the set screws so I could pull it up a little and it allowed me to dial it down. The CDS is a solid setup, just have to bring a small Allen key to get it zeroed.

[@brettbeesleydisabledhunter2849]

You really should look into learning how the Leupold zero stop and CDS work. They are fantastic. To zero you remove the turret then zero as per normal. Then once zeroed replace the zero stop turret back on with it set at zero. Once you work out the ballistics of your cartridge you can just dial on up then and once you've finished just crank it back on down and it will automatically stop at your sight in distance. Even better, once you know all your ballistics and things, contact Leupold and they will burn you a Custom Dial Turret that will have your ballistics calculated on it. Then when say you want to take a shot at 300 yards, you simply turn the dial to 300 and fire away. It is a great system that works perfectly and there is no need to carry a dope card or try and figure out how far to click up whilst you're on the go.

I have had alot of 45-70 love that cal. The 444 got rid of that H&R barrel still got 35 Waylon and 12 other barrels.

[@GrantConnell-wt6vk]

Great video. Two hints. When checking trigger pull, have the butt pad on a hard surface, removes a variable. Have the rifle resting on the forfend, not the barrel, as it messes with the harmonics. You have a great channel. Cheers from Australia.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

👍👍 good tips

[@louisehinger8631]

Hey WhoTee. I just watched your CVA Scout video. I love the trigger test gizmo; however, something in the back of my mind is raising flags on your technique. Now take this with a "block" of salt but it seems that something from my 1970s physics classes says that you shouldn't hold the gun in one hand and the trigger tester in the other. Your one hand is applying force up while the other hand is applying force down. You should probably put the gun butt on a solid surface and pull the trigger straight down for the most consistent results. Or maybe not.

[@georgegaiennie3747]

.64” with .45 - 70? I’m impressed.

[@PatriotPaulUSA]

Just got my 2nd CVA Scout Pistol a 44 Mag/Spl to go along with the 300BLK one I have. Great Bergara barrels and solid tough receivers threaded and great triggers! Until Thompson Center comes back I am glad we have these for reasonable money they are sweet shooters.

[@Dm87509]

Was thinking about this gun on and off and this helped thanks

[@warrenpolidori5541]

I'd be thrilled with that accuracy WTH!

[@pbeardy]

That settles it! I am getting me one of those CVA .45-70’s! I could not tell by your description in the video, did the scope bottom out or was it a zero-stop issue? Great video as always.

[@garys5540]

Thanks Who Tee

[@williambotts635]

Great videos, love them all, I have subscibed here and follow you on Facebook. I love your CVA Scout videos, so much so that I went today and picked up a CVA Scout in 243. It should do good on the Kentucky whitetails that i'll be after in November.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Thanks for watching

[@HookLineSinger]

Yep. You figured out the Leupold CDS system. Just remove the turret, then put the zero where you want it. Replace the turret and now you have a zero stop. Best scopes made for the money.

[@anthonyjbargeman5280]

I had a CVA in .45-70. Damn thing was as close to a tack driver as I could get it. Shot best with leverevalution. Wish I never got rid of it .

[@JeepsCafe]

Thompson Center Contenders were the top dog of break actions back in the day. This CVA looks realy cool though I like it.

[@latitudepermafrost]

I have the .35 Whelen version. It routinely groups under an inch. Somewhere I heard that Begara builds the barrels for those…? Not sure if that’s true or not, but the 45-70 variants is next on my bucket list 👍🏻

[@infernalstormrider]

”Sold my lever action 45/70 ”???? Hurts my ears . Don’t do that 😂😂😂

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Gotta pay the bills

[@nicholasgad]

That's amazing grouping for 45-70!

[@rossholmes178]

Greetings from Australia...thanks for your work on these vids mate - much appreciated. That's a round that I've never shot but it sure must have some grunt behind it...

[@alec9401]

With those scopes you have to take the elevation turret off and then do your adjustments, after your zeroed for whatever yard you want than you put the turret back on withbthe zero facing you. I use this scope on my 300 win mag and the vx5 on my rum. They are amazing scopes

[@estright9293]

Bought one for my son in 243. Their excellent for the money

[@TheWVgoodguy22]

CVA Scout is affordable accuracy and the 45-70 Gov is a short range classic power house. What a great combo 😃🦌

[@johnknouse8846]

Crazy seeing a group of 45-70! Holes are darn near 1/2” each!! I’m use to shooting 6mm or 6.5, which makes little 1/4” holes. I grew up in Iowa, and most of my family still live there. Several of my uncles either have their own property or have access to property with monster whitetails. I keep saying I’m gonna go up and hunt one year, and they only allow straight wall rifle or shotgun during gun season. That little boolat flinger would be just the ticket.

[@davedrake5809]

I love the 45/70! I love the CVA scout! (Although mine aren’t that fancy with the stainless and flutes.) And I thank you for your videos. But I think you might be doing a disservice to the capabilities of the 45-70 compared to the 444 by not using the higher velocity ammunition available. It’s not a criticism just one guy thinking out loud. I’m eagerly awaiting more big bore videos. I appreciate your work and thank you for sharing all of the data you collect . I learn more from every video you put out.

[@tjh44961]

If you plan to do any handloading for this rifle, try the Sierra 350 grain HP over IMR 3031. I had a 45-70 Ruger #1 that just loved that bullet. Man, I wish I still had that rifle...

[@sonnygay3597]

Just watched , Mon. Morning . Sometimes things can be a little aggravating ( scope adjustment) but looks like you made it work. That’s not bad at all .64 group that is . Thanks for the video. I’m pretty sure that will be a one shot deer catcher for sure .

[@raywebb7295]

I would suggest removing the screws in the factory pic rail and adding lock tight. Mine came loose after about 30 rounds, chambered in 450BM. Other than that, I really like the CVA Scout.

[@EricChmelarsky]

CVA Scout is an awesome rifle. My only complaint would be the LOP is a tad long for me. They make a two shot shellholder fits between the rings and wraps around the action. Makes for quick reloads. Break w/right hand, extract and load w/left hand.😊

[@8MM.PRC.HUNTER]

Impressive group from a single shot break action 45-70 with factory ammo!

[@slimquinn5692]

I have a CVA scout 35 Whelan that is a tack driver I’ve caught a lot of deer with it.

[@chuckydubree1925]

I got a single shot henry 45-7]0,and a single shot 35 whelen cva ,definitely like the cva better ,cva is stainless and cheaper ,and shoots great,thanks for posting

[@GeorgeBurgers-xt5hr]

Try the 350 gr. Leverevolution bullets. My rifle changed 4" groups with 405 gr. flat points to consistently be under an inch.

[@adamboron4522]

I have the exact same gun but with a vortex 2-7 best deer rifle I own sweet simple and a true tack driver barrel is amazing also I shoot the grizzly 300 gr at 2400 fps highly recommend this round easy 250yd gun perfect for here in Ohio

[@TomL3grandsons]

You have to pull the cap off with an the Allen wrench that comes with the scope

[@robertbroxson4582]

Thanks for all you do!

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Thanks for watching!

[@jaredconrad7075]

Pretty sure adjustments can just be made with the cap off. Then put the cap back on in the zero position. That's how mine is. With the cds-zl. Agreed it's frustrating for getting zero but for dragging thru the alders of Kodiak, the zero lock is, in my mind, necessary. I prefer capped turrets like the good ole days above all, but seems if you want better glass these days they only come with dials. To each their own.

Great rifle on a budget. Lot of different options. Turkey options running a thing also on these rifles and different straight wall caliber for ohio. Dad like 325gr Hornady in his marlin . This would on my list for big caliber for Africa

[@robertspeicher5047]

Worked with a guy who " reloaded" 45-70 and would travel to Idaho to hunt elk. One year he had worked up and went to the range to see the results. Using a Marlin 1895, scoped. He set up a target, 100 yds. Lying prone, fired his first group of three. Went to see....no holes. He had been hunting with that rifle for a few years and took elk with. It was sighted in. So he set up for another three. When fired the round he noticed a , sort of a dark cloud about 75 yds down. Ignored it....imagination?. Turns out his lead was too soft and his ibullets were vaporizing.
