The Best Ammunition For The CVA Scout 350 Legend! 

Yes you are correct. It has high scope mounts so there is enough room to cock the trigger with your thumb. Thanks for watching!

Barry, you were taught the wrong way to clean a gun barrel and I will prove it to you. Not all guns will brake open like this CVA. So on regular guns, it is impossible to start from the breach without putting the cleaning rod in bind. I've been cleaning guns for over 40 years and not one time has it hurt the barrel or caused any kind of disarray. But you are correct on one thing, you don't RAM it down the barrel. You gently push the cleaning rod down the barrel like you see me do in the video. Thanks for watching!

No not all guns break open like the CVA scout.. a bolt-action rifle, you take the bolt out, and push the cleaning rod from the breach to the muzzle. A break open single-shot is even easier. You push your cleaning rod from the breach to the muzzle so that you are not harming your crown. And I was not taught wrong how to clean a rifle. I've been doing it for over 40 years myself. By starting at the muzzle and pushing your cleaning rod in that way you can damage your crown of your barrel, which can lead to an accuracy of your rifle. Ask anybody that knows anything about cleaning a rifle

@@barrycarrick1920 There is only one way to clean automatics and lever actions. You start from the muzzle. Either way, you have to use common sense and not damage the crown of the barrel. I have no problem with starting from the breach, but like I said all guns can't be accessed like that.

Another way is to use a bore snake type swab to clean the barrel that way you don't have to deal with cleaning rods rubbing against the crown or the rifling near the muzzle. You can clean any rifle action with a borne snake, and you can make your own out of cheap rope or twine and some braided fishing line. You can save money on gun cleaner by using Walmart carb cleaner inside the barrels.

Yes sir that will work. Thanks for watching!@@PassivePortfolios

I agree thanks for watching!

Yes sir they can. I've got to test another round soon if it will cool off a little. Thanks for watching!

Exactly. It looks like a 50mm objective lens on the gun, which raises the center of scope in relation to center of barrel. So that means to hit your line of site dead on at 25 yards, the angle of the bullet travel is steeper than it would be if you had a forty millimeter objective with lower scope mounts. Hope that makes sense. My dad explained this to me when I was kid. He drew it out on graph paper and it made perfect sense. Google “how scope height affects trajectory”. So you will have different trajectory results with that same rifle and ammo, if you went with a 40mm objective lens and lower mounts. Thanks for the video. Im hoping to get a 350 legend for my wife soon. 👍🏼

@@seancotten8076 Yes sir it makes a difference for sure. Thanks for watching!

Thanks Robert, Hopefully I get to see what these bullets will do to a big buck sooner rather than later. Thanks for watching!

I have some 140 grain - fastest on the market. I plan on doing a video. It's been really hot lately and I have not made it down to the hunting property.

All we can do is support the US and buy things here. It seems just about everything we buy here lately is from China. Bummer! Thanks for watching!

@@TrentGunnellGeorgiaExposure thanks for your reply. Been eyeing a CVA Scout in 350 Legend at my local store. Been sitting there for months, calling my name. 😆

Thanks Ellis! You hold the fort down over around the mighty Mississippi!

Thank you kindly mam'. Thanks for watching!

Yep I know it's a shocker! Leupold is also good. Thanks for watching!

I have those same bullets as well. I'm excited to shoot them, but I have not done that yet. Thanks for watching!

I've always used Nikon scopes my entire life and had great luck with them. Would you believe Nikon isn't making rifle scopes anymore!? Thanks for watching, God Bless!

Thanks for watching!

Very true. As long as it works - thanks for watching!

Yes, gun needs to be around 2" high at 100 yards.

@TrentGunnellGeorgiaExposure I have the ruger american go wild with this scope and I have it dead on @ 100. Then turn my dial to 200 and can hold a 1 1/4 group.

@@jacobthompson7456 10/4 thanks for watching.

Yes sir I can live with the results for sure.

Sup Ellis! Pumping out one quality mount after another - Peace!

For sure. Thanks for watching!

Sup Ellis!

😂

The regs say no full metal jackets. "Full-metal jacket bullets may not be used to harvest deer."

​@@KarlBAndersen, @tonybrooks6028 -These bullets are not FMJ - they are expandable. A full metal jacket bullet will not expand. That's why in most states they are illegal. Thanks for watching! bearcreekballistics.com/wp-content/uploads/2020/07/350-EXPANDED-BULLETS.jpg

@@TrentGunnellGeorgiaExposure Agreed. I was pointing that out to the previous commentor.

I appreciate it. Thanks for watching!

It's really hard to say. I have some 140 grain bullets I'm going to test eventually. We will see. Part of it is the scope sitting higher. Thanks for watching!

Most likely just that huge 50mm scope sets higher over the bore than their test rifle causing more deviation between bullet path and line of sight.

@@williamiverson903 Yes for sure this is a big factor. Thanks for watching!

You didn't watch the entire video did you? lol. Yeah this is the CVA's velocity. The box says if you were roughly dead on at 25 yards, you would be 2.5" high at 100 yards. That wasn't the case with my gun. My gun had to be sighted in 1" low at 25 yards to make the rest of the ballistics correct.

I did watch the entire video. I even just rewatched the video to make sure I didnt miss anything but all you said was according to your ballistics several times. You didnt mention how you came to those ballistic calculations. Just kept saying the ballistics And you just answered my question by saying your using the info on the box.

@@thatguyfishingben4794 The velocity on the box was tested with a 22" barrel. My gun has a 20" barrel. That made a difference for sure. I have some 140 grain bullets coming. I plan on doing a video on them as well. Thanks for watching!

Yes sir, thanks for watching!

To be honest with you, I have forgotten the brand. It doesn't say it on them either. 1' high mounts bought from Sportsman's warehouse.

No hurting barrels is allowed!

Yes

@@TrentGunnellGeorgiaExposure I've not seen that configuration. Looks nice. I was debating one in stainless awhile back, but if could find stainless nitride, that would be cool too. I know CVA does stainless nitride on some of the muzzleloaders,

@@Hill_Billy_Without_A_Hill Thanks, Yeah the stainless is cool. They are hit or miss trying to find certain ones in the CVA. Thanks for watching!

Sup E!

The whole thing is ludicrous if you think about it. The government gets involved and figures out a way to make their money. We as hunters should be able to shoot most calibers at whitetails. Each state decides certain rules and regulations, therefore forcing us as hunters to purchase their certain rifles that are legal. In the end, they all make money. But to reflect on what you said, a break open rifle is not my first choice to hunt whitetails. Thanks for watching!

Have you ever seen a Henry single shot? They look great. But there blue and wood. Accuracy is no better. These cva rifles are built like tanks, stainless and synthetic, with bergara barrels, looks aren't everything.

@@rayjones5282 Yeah when it's all said and done, if it will kill a deer - then I guess that's what counts! Thanks for watching!

Well. I loved them.

... you gotta use better scopes ... I won't go under $50 for a scope ... no junk for me

I plan on letting that rifle eat this year Lord willing.

Are you deer hunting or competition shooting? Sounds like your watching the wrong videos. Let's see yours.
