CVA Scout 35 Whelen 💪💪

[@timrobertson299]

I know people keep telling you to adjust with a warm barrel. That’s fine and true on a target rifle. Not on a hunting rifle. You need to know where it’s going to hit cold. Since you don’t get the option to warm up the barrel when your hunting. If you do you probably will come home empty handed. Keep doing it the way you always have.

[@jacstocker7257]

I really really want a CVA 45-70

[@weansardman]

Yes! Cold bore shot is the most important!

[@kennethdewhirst.7927]

Wanted to say thanks for featuring the .35 Whelen. It’ll take just about any animal in North America. It was one of Elmer Kieth’s favorites. Just a note, most shooters and hunters out west here would normally opt for the 200 yard. “0”. A 270, 30/06, 280 Rem. or even a 7mm mag. would only be 1/2 to 2 inches high at a hundred, dead on at 200, and only 6 to 7 inches low at 300. This will give a practically point blank range trajectory for anything within that distance. Thanks again for your great videos. God bless, Ken

[@Pixx4you]

They asked Elmer Keith why he shot such large-caliber rifles. Keep in mind much of Elmer's hunting was in heavy timber in northern Idaho and the Bob Marshall Wilderness of Montana. His crude yet simple reply: "They bleed better with two holes."

[@patriciastauffer3278]

Glad to see you got a .35 Whelen, one of the best hunting cartridges ever developed. Please shoot through paper plates, water jugs, clay blocks and all kinds of other stuff. Don't judge the power by the recoil, you have a great muzzle brake on that rifle.

[@outdoorswithroostercurrie6984]

If you’re a Handloader you can really make the 35 Whelen an absolute BEAST. Stout Handloads in the 35 Whelen can be a Magnum Cartridge in a standard long action rifle. I’ll be getting one of these in the near future.

[@waynestone6462]

Who needs more than 2460 fps out or a 250 grainer ! What are you hunting BIG FOOT !

[@charlesmurphy7712]

I've a Remington 35 wheelen and I handload for it. Rooster is correct, if I load it to max pressure with a barns xxx 285grain it will leave me blue from my neck to my ribs. Ive used it on hogs in Warrington GA. My load on 14 hogs so far is DRT . Not one has moved further than 20 yards from point of impact. Most just dropped right there. 35 can be handloaded with 180grain .357 caliber pistol rounds for light work and ease of recoil. I've hunted them on squirrel, racoon, opossum, for camp meat. I carry one magazine with 357 copper jacketed hollowpoint, one magazine with Remington 250 grain led nose and one magazine in the rifle of my handloads for hunting. The rifle is accurate and nostalgic wouldn't trade it for love nor money.

[@Stigstigster]

@@charlesmurphy7712 That appears to be a great and very versatile setup. Sounds pretty smart to me.

That rifle does have a brake on it so take that into consideration when comparing felt recoil from other calibers.

[@Kesssuli]

Not to mention anything how that thing is seated to sled. weighted or not it will still take some recoil off. Usually when people are talking about recoil they will shoot it off handed or sitting and rifle is just resting on sandbag.

[@zorro456]

Recoil counts for a lot. Why a Muzzle loader kicks softer than a smokeless rifle the same amount of total recoil.

[@just_blumpin_off]

I have one and have shot it without the brake on and from sandbags. Recoil is similar to 308 or 06 but it hits much harder

I'm in Africa now ..I am going to be interested in the 35 whelen ..zebra is tough ..I'm recoil sensitive..will the cva scout be a good option?

[@l.w.nordan9409]

I have the same setup and love it. Used it this past season for my MS primitive weapon/woods rifle. I decided on an 80 yard zero for the average distances i knew I'd be shooting in some hardwood treetops and a couple plots I'd been watching. It proved flat and effective for 180gr Barnes TTSX. The ttsx shreds. Took down 5 deer every one a heart shot dropped on the spot. The ttsx makes a massive wound channel.

Thanks for all the videos on CVA Scout in 35 Whelen. You convinced me I needed a 35 Whelen. I picked one up about a month ago. I finally got to the range with it and I could not be happier. This thing is a tack driver. Fortunately I am a reloader, so I don't have the expense of factory ammo. Otherwise, I don't think I could afford to shoot.

[@joeltowle2737]

I had the 35 W and a 30-06 both in a Remington 700 BDL and they felt the same, maybe a little more recoil with the 35 W! Those CVA's seem very accurate! Great video

[@Jason-nt5gr]

They say that the 35 Whelen is the non-magnum magnum. It is a beast of a round out to around 400yds.

🏆 That combo is a winner! 🏆 That load should sure do the job on anything that walks on our continent!

[@BornAgain2019]

I have wanted a 35 Whelan for years. Finally pulled the trigger on a 2016 limited edition Remington Model 700 CDLSF when it came out in 2016. It groups all of the ammo I have for it well. The 250 gr Remington Core Lokt Express are loaded very conservative. They seem similar to my 700 ADL 30/06 shooting 180's. The Buffalo Bore 225 gr Sierra Game Kings @2800 are a completely different animal. Comes off the sandbags on the bench. More recoil than my Win Mod 70 300 Win shooting 180's. I would say Its similar to a 338 Win Mag being it slings 225's at the same velocity. It's a very underrated cartridge no doubt.

[@timclaus8313]

Hornady Superformance is outrageous. My 22" Handi-Rifle clocks just under the rated 2900 fps, 200 gr SST, bores 3/8" holes in 3/8" thick target steel. Both Hornady and Federal Fusion are cheaper than Remington ammo.

[@jeremywill4272]

My favorite caliber. I’ll never hunt with nothing else. I hand loaded for it and shot the steel to sight in and it was accurate and hitting like a hammer. A hog and deer’s nightmare. 225gr

[@mattyv7499]

My advice. Drop the the 225gr projectiles and they should be trucking along at 2650 to 2700. The SD is .242 or something. That heaps any deer and would still crump an elk 2.

[@MrCC813]

One of my favorite rifles I own!! I was told the same as you that it’s a shoulder cannon, it’s gonna knock the crap out of you etc. I honestly think it has the same recoil as my 30-06. I agree with you on the cost of “boolots”. I paid $100 for my first box from buffalo Bore. I have found some cheaper rounds since then but it is a very expensive round to fire!! But FUN!!

[@brucefrohn9834]

Hey WTW, have you tried a 2 shot sight-in ? Take your initial initial shot on paper (like you did), then put the cross hairs back in the bulls eye, hold the rifle still, look through the scope & adjust the cross hairs to the bullet hole. Move the rifle back to the bulls eye & fire a 2nd shot. You should now be right on the bulls eye.

[@phild9813]

This method works really well if you have a lead sled type apparatus, which WTW does!

[@d.j.9961]

Does the sled need to be bolted down or weighted down to prevent movement?

[@masondick4851]

You don’t want to move your crosshairs to the bullet hole from the bullseye, that will move it twice as far away. You want to aim at the bullet hole and adjust the crosshairs to the bullseye.

[@markbowman3475]

It's weighted down with lead shot gun pellets.

Used a 35 Whalen on 2 black bears and a whitetail out to 250 yards. 225 grain Sierra is all the bullet you will ever need. Set that scope up to your load and you’ ll love it! However you could get by with a lot less zoomies.

Muzzlebreak takes a lot of the recoil away. Almost got that same one, but went with the blued barrel without the muzzlebreak, and it kicks. Great rifle either way. Good luck this season. Trying to get my first with my 35 Whelen too.

[@davidthornton3573]

Hand load for your Whelen. 30-06 brass is cheap and easy to find. My father and I both hunted here in Alaska for over 50 years with one. Even the biggest bears fell to the Whelen and most were one shot kills. Always used 250 grain Horniday spire points and never had a failure. I think some of the new premium bullets might work even better. I have a number of more powerful rifles but in the end the old Whelen is what always seems to go hunting.

[@thetobaccoguy1751]

You can form .35 wheelen for '06 brass? Guess I never thought about it. Main reason I never considered one. Expensive brass.

[@raleighthomas3079]

Congrats on finding a great shooter, and dittos on the Leupold! You can’t go wrong! They stand behind their products too. Your next one try the VX-R, it’s a 30 mm tube VX-3 with a Fire-Dot LED dot in the center of the crosshairs. Perfect for dark wild pigs right at dawn or dusk, when you tend to lose the crosshairs on their side.

Recoil is very much a personal perception. I was shooting a .308 win yesterday at the range. Group of people beside me were talking up how huge the round was and the massive recoil. A .308.

[@echofoxtrotwhiskey1595]

True. After .22 I think I have more rounds through 12 gauge than anything else. So as far as recoil goes, 12 gauge is my litmus test.

[@thetobaccoguy1751]

Thats true, the way he explained it isnt exactly right. It depends on calibre, velocity and bullet coefficient. Each dial per calibre is different. I wish I could order one now, but nobody has it in stock. I plan on ordering the Scout V2 pistol in 6.5 Grendal, it would be a fun gun.

Hoo_Tee don't you know you adjust the scope over to the bullet hole. I packaged up some wheel weights and stuffed them in the stock went from 7lbs to 9lbs a little heavy but tamed the recoil way down. I mostly shoot off a bench anyway. My son's name was Waylon and I pronounce Whelen with the e instead of the a. Anyway super duper glad your showing the Whelen. By the way it was designed for shooting big cats. Phs were having trouble with the big dangerous game cartridges passing through the cats and not doing much damage. Some tried the 30 06 and got ripped apart. Colonel Whelen wanted something better than the 30 06 .

I already bought the 45-70 and 44 Mag after watching your videos, was intrigued enough on the 35 Whelen..I bought one ( Its still in jail until next week ) , and was mandatory to get reloading equip for it...to shoot cheaper and hot rod this baby up. Found PRIMED 35 Whelen brass cheaper than unprimed, grabbed a 3 die set from Redding...already had shellholder/powder...grabbed Hornady FTX 200's and Speer HotCore 250's ( Everybody said that was THE 35 Whelen bullet ) ...will have it all loaded up by the time I get her out of FFL jail 😄 Debating what cartridge I get next in one of these Scouts...love em.

CVA has a one piece mount and ring for their break action rifles. I have both but I like the idea of removing one possible moving point.

[@justinyakopatz6117]

Not critcisizing your scope adjustment procedure. I sell a lot of rifles and scopes, and there are a lot of options for both out there. I did notice your particular Leupold has 1/4 MOA adjustments. If you are sighting in at 100 yards, and you want the bullet impact to move about an inch in any direction, it's going to take four clicks at that distance. I imagine in the last two months since this video was posted, you've had the chance to dial it in more. Thanks for sharing your video. I'm definitely considering adding a CVA single shot to the stable. Just trying to pick a caliber I don't already have. It might be a coin toss between the 450 Bushmaster, and the 35 Whelen. You definitely have a great game stopper there. Good luck hunting, and stay safe out there.🇺🇸

The grand slam weaver mounts are great for the money I really want 35 Whelen set up like you got ,looks awesome ,doing a great job thanks for posting ,appreciate all your hard work, and good advice

[@freshfowler1398]

3 shot groups mean nothing to me, 1 shot right where I'm aiming is all that matters period!! 35 whelen is an amazing deer round in my experience. Very good results using Hornady 200gr interlock! WTW!!!👍🇺🇸

Then how do you know it wasn't a fluke? Accuracy is repeatable performance.

[@taylorbell3213]

@@johnwesley9000 i agree

[@johnnybarbar7435]

@@johnwesley9000 Precision is tight groups or repeatable performance as you call it. Accuracy is hitting near point of aim whether it be 1 shot, 3 or 10.

[@TexanUSMC8089]

I agree. 200gr Interlocks are great.

I have waited on this so long. I've never had a deer run and the triggers are sweet on these guns

[@popelliott731]

That Leopold is a nice scope. I got the 4.5 x 14 x 50 they are good clear scopes👍🏽

[@WHOTEEWHO]

I like it

[@jeffreyjuneau1959]

@@WHOTEEWHO looking to purchase soon, does the 35 whelen have swivels to attach a sling? Will have to walk a good ways to our stands..over a mile, couple stands 400 yards...thanks..love your videos learned quite a bit in the last few hours..

[@jeffreyjuneau1959]

I purchased the vortex optics Crossfire 2 3x9x50 v-brite illuminated scope from Amazon for $199.00 great for pre-dawn and dush time, lifetime warranty also..

[@shronut.840]

That muzzle brake reduces a lot of recoil from that 35. It usually recoils at about 27 ft lbs without it.

[@danielrettagliata3503]

I have a 700 CDL that I have been shooting for 20 years and I won't change. The cartridge is devastating on deer and have not had one take a single step. The price you paid for ammo is about right in my experience.

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Hoping to get the chance with this one on a Whitetail this year

[@ronniepoteete5510]

Those rifles have Begara barrels on them some of the best factory barrels out there. I shoot Hornady Superperformane 200 gr. In mine and it has way more boost!

[@andrewgrimsted7947]

i use the same scope on my browning 223 one of the best scopes i have ever had, good show mate.

[@davidcraft4919]

What about good ole 35 Remington? Hard to beat.... And almost impossible to find.

[@jimmieburleigh9549]

It's a good round. A little more oomph than the 30-30. I'd love to have a lever gun in it. I had one in a lever and a couple single shots that got stolen years back.

[@YellowHammer26]

My son in law has a marlin in 35 remington. My grandson killed his first deer with it when he was 7. Nice rifle

[@celtspear6903]

I have two Marlins in 35 Remington. It's always been one of my favorite cartridges!

[@tubbyshvfd9110]

I have a 35 rem in a TC Encore pistol

[@utubewatcher3852]

Like everyone else I'm Familiar with the 35 Remington friend used for pigs. And you Lever lovers take a look at 375 Winchester my brother in-law had one fantastic pig rifle and caliber.

[@dougmac9955]

The 35 Whelen was never meant to compete with the 45/70. My understanding is it was to give more energy in standard length (30/06 length) bolt action rifles, without recoil beating the snot out of the shooter. That 250 gr load is churning up about 3350 ft lbs of energy, it may feel like a creampuff on your shoulder, but it should smack down anything in the lower 48. It might be a bit light for Alaska's big bears, but I'm a wimp. For grizzly at bad breath range, I want a Ma Deuce.

[@Gokywildcats11]

Is the recoil bad

[@chrissheathewoodguy]

many of deer went down with one shot rifles. CVA is a awesome platform.
