CVA Scout 35 Remington

[CWLONGSHOT]

Could you put me in touch with them? Please?

I’m starting to suspect the scope being a problem but I’ll wait until I shoot these loads before I change it.

I have a CVA Scout 2 in 44 mag. It came with a factory one piece scope mount and rings pre installed. The mounting system is hell for stout BUT: I found that the mounting screws on the one piece scope mount that came with the gun were too long. They would tighten and the mount would feel tight but would start skating around after 5 or 6 shots. I took a couple of threads off each screw and all has held since then. Check out the mount, I'm pretty sure mine isn't the only one with that problem. It was a bugger to track down, kept shooting into two groups.

Thanks Rick, I’ll check that out.

I can try. He was closing up shop October 30th, retiring I guess, but I think he’s still going to do gun shows. I’ll give him a call and see what he says.

I called today and I was wrong, it’s a 35 Whelen and still on the rack and they are still open! For the current market, he has a good selection of powder and a not bad selection of bullets. Only 209 primers available. Barbersfirearms.com

Thank you for calling!!

CVA still makes the single shot rifles.
you get a long barrel or short barrel with screw off thread protector.
i was looking at them yesterday.

Yup they do.... Just not in 35 Rem any longer.

Traditions has one nearly identical. Sadly they choose to not chamber 35Remington either.

No CVA Scout experience. But have a 336 in 35 Rem and BLR in 358 Win - oh YEAH - AND a Contender bbl in 357 Herrett! I LOVE the 35s! If it is in 35 Rem, I am two thumbs up. Pretty much the same with anything 35. Two 'calibers' I am HUGE fans of are anything 6.5 and anything 35! Oh yeah, and anything 45/458 too!

So what you do is snag one in 38/357 and rent/borrow/buy reamers for 35 Rem and 30-30 , buy a 30-30 extractor/ejector and ream for 35 Rem and set the head headspace with the 30-30 reamer . Run 30-30 case in the 35 Rem die and trim .

A rimmed .35 Remington, what an interesting thought.

 

[RBHarter]

Its that 30-30 , 30 Rem , 6.5 Carcano , 6.8 Rem , 6.5 Japanese thing swilling around .
It would make it easier for the machinist to get the parts talking to do a rimmed case in the break singles . The 30-30 is slightly under dia but the rim should pretty well center the rear of the case for fire forming even if the head doesn't make it .

30-30 brass is cheap from the west edge of Oklahoma to the Atlantic .

I did think about that but the twist on 38/357 mag is slower then 35 Rem. From many manufacturers. I dont see a 357 offered from CVA but could from Henry.

The rim cut should be inconsequential. Moons ago I cut a rim cut into a H&R (35 Rem) that I re chambered to 358. Making it a 358/356. I do prefer a rim and it shot both just fine.

I had accepted that most of the 9/38/35s were 1-16 now unless it was something special ...... that'll teach me ......my 358 is 1-14" but it's an Adams and Bennett barrel so it's 15+ yr old now ....

 

[CWLONGSHOT]

The standard was 1:18.5. I know H&R used that.

 

[RBHarter]

I'll have to check Mom's 1894 C .

 

[fiver]

i didn't look to se if they made it in 30-30, but if they did a trip to that bore reamer guy would sure make things some easy.

I was thumbing through a book , might have been PO Ackley , and it listed a 35 Winchester . At a glance it looked like 30-30 necked up with a 40° shoulder from the neck line ........ I wasn't looking for that at the moment .......
