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]

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.

[@jamespugh]

@@waynestone6462 people using it for big bear or moose

[@Pixx4you]

At the same time, I shoot a Whelen in a single barrel H&R. Loading it to .35 Remington velocities with a lighter jacketed bullets just works.

[@TommyboyGTP]

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

[@timothyvegh7386]

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.

What would it cost to reload a box of 200 grain. 35 whelen??

[@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.

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.

[@markoharoldoronearmedpoohb7816]

Nice shout out to Ron Spomer! I watch a bunch of his videos also. Love the CVA scout-great little rifle.

[@edeldridge36]

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

[@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.

[@Smokin78Squire]

My all-time favorite. Not bad at all on recoil, but hits like the proverbial sledgehammer. Picked up another Whelen recently, a BRNO Mauser with a 26" Shilen barrel. Can't wait for that trip to the range.

[@gk5891]

Even that mild load was 30% stronger than a 30/06 150 gr. I think the muzzle brake was fooling him.

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.

Got an early 70's Rem. Mod 700 in .35 whelen, Shilen barrel,Timney trigger. That baby loves 200-220 grain bullets,handloads & Hornady Superformance both shoot holes touching at 100 yds! The 200 gr. Hornady rated at 2920 mv! Awesome!

[@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!!

Thanks for the review. After watching I ordered the CVA 35 Whelen just like yours from Midway. I will be putting my Leopold VX2 3x9 CDS on it. I have 2 boxes of the 200 grain Hornady Superperformance so I should be good for this deer season. But I have some 35 Whelen dies and a ton of 30-06 brass along with a Lyman 3589 mold which drops a 280 grain bullet and a Lyman 358156 which drops a 150 grain bullet. Should be able to do a lot of shooting this summer without using up the hard to find ammo.

[@CDinNC]

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.

[@popelliott731]

I got the Scout V2 camo stock 35 Whelen. Was shooting 200 gr Hornady superformance which grouped 3/4” group at 100 yards. Got 2 deer with them, with golf ball size exit wounds. Went to barns 180 gr tts FB. For this coming deer season. They group just as good as the Hornady 200 gr. Can’t wait to see how they do on them white tails

I bought the exact gun late last year in 35 Whelen. Almost the same setup. I recently just zeroed it in. Didnt even bore sight, just eyeballed it. 1st shot was about 5" low and 1" right. Two more adjustments and the 3rd and 4th was in a 1" orange dot. Nice factory trigger on this gun. I'm shooting 200 grain Remington ammo, because like you, that was all I could pickup at the time. I do like Remington ammo. Killed piles of deer with Remington 180s in my 30-06. I hope I get to try this out on a good buck this year. Hope to see you hunt with yours this year. I would like to know what my Remington 200g would do through the chrono. Good Luck.

[@luvbgrass]

UPDATE I killed a nice 9 first morning in the woods with my Scout. 200 grain factory remingtons. Shot low through one shoulder. Exit behind the other shoulder. He did make it about 20 yards before taking a dirt nap. Pretty impressed when I skinned him. I would like to try it on a couple more. See if I can get the Bang Flop. LOL

[@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.

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.

Hoo_Tee don't you know you adjust the scope over to the bullet hole.

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 .

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.

I like the choice you have made with the scope , good size for just about any hunting and most hunting rifles.

[@MisterBrewer]

Saweeet! 250 grainers at that speed will put 'em down. I'm sure that muzzle brake is helping a lot.

[@greywolfoutdoorshomestead9962]

That was faster than I thought it would be for being a heavy round

[@AchievingAccuracy]

I tell you what, I do a lot of long range 500-1000+ shooting, and I’ve had to work very hard to get the 100yd groups you seem to get with every rifle you buy! Shooting cheap ammo to boot! I love to see it but I am green with envy!

[@michaelbarlow6062]

Add some weights to the lead sled and it won’t jump when you shoot should make groups a little smaller if possible with that group👍 fun video as always

[@michaelbarlow6062]

It helped mine till someone decided to steal it out of the back of my truck 🤬🤬

[@johnknouse8846]

Love the Leupold CDS system. I have a couple of them. All you have to do is send them the ballistic info on your bullet choice, and they will send you a custom dial. You can order extras if you want to have custom dials for different loadings.

[@ValcoBayrunner]

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.

[@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!

[@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

[@drifter8952]

Would enjoy seeing a deer hunt with the 35 Whelen. Would enjoy also, seeing a wild boar hunt with that rifle.

[@rascal0175]

You will love this and enjoy a .375 H&H even more. I’ll keep an eye out for ammo for you. Great group, nice shooting, take it hunting.

[@5.0f150-m]

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

[@jacquesmaree2178]

Hi may a give you some advise on zeroing your scope. After you done your 10 or 20yrd zero and you are at 100 or what ever distance, shoot a group or one shot st your target keep on aming at your enitional aming point, now without moving your eye from the scope still aming at your emitional aming point uour 1/4 circle move your crosshairs from your enitional amingpoint to your new group. This way you cut the guessing on how many clicks to your group and whala your riflescope is set. Thank for all you video's and love your program.

[@shronut.840]

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

[@emeryhersh8702]

Ron spomer is my go to guy for new rifle calibers! Good video!

[@WHOTEEWHO]

Good dude

[@falsekings-p9z]

Thanks mate. Good thing that you liked it .😀👍 Deer season (+). Like to saw what happens👍You just need one box for a season I think !!! One shot one kill .

[@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

[@umami0247]

Just like a Thompson center encore. Which is my favorite rifle for a single shot. However since they sold to Smith and Wesson they don't offer as many barrels which is a shame. I may pick up one of these. The muzzle break helps Immensely.

[@DrGingerHamster]

Leupold, Nikon, I mean, several top shelf options. Leupold is really good. I have a Nikon, also really good.

[@sstritmatter2158]

Deer? - hah, with those loads you could hunt moose and grizzlies. I suppose you can't have too much gun but you will likely spin a deer at 180 then plant it in a dirt nap getting hit with that. I'm in the market for a 35 Whelen and I've researched it a lot. I LIKE the CVA and was worried about recoil with a light single shot, but I think the muzzle brake on it helps a lot. However, I will still likely get a bolt-action multi-round because using it on dangerous big game, IF I need a fast follow up shot, it will be slow with a single action I'm afraid. Yeah it will cost 3X the CVA, but how much is insurance worth when you need it? Good video.

[@fabulousoffroaddesigns5080]

You are right, Remington ammo is weak but likely better for dear any way. Try shooting it without the muzzle brake. Big difference.

[@T30-z5w]

Rifle seems to shoot well. I’d suggest you shoot it without the rest before you go hunting. It will make a difference on your zero. I’ve had 35s before. Yours has a brake and that makes a big difference in recoil but the full power 45-70 definitely kicks more.

[@Painterrap]

I’m about like you sighting in a rifle. I will get close at about 10-15 yards on paper and then move back to 100 yards. I see some people that will sit for hours at a time and burn through several boxes of ammo trying to get an exact zero right on the bullseye. I usually get real close and make a final adjustment and then leave it alone. In my experience with hunting and range plinking it’s always been plenty good.
