Thousands of recreational shooters and hunters have gotten their introduction to the firearm world through a single-shot rifle or shotgun. The simplicity, light weight and economy of these firearms mean that they often get carried into the field long after their users are beginners. In 2010, CVA firearms, known for its line of muzzleloaders, introduced its Scout series of break-open single-shot rifles and shotguns. Now for 2025, the company is offering its next-generation Scout line with updates to meet the needs of the modern hunter.

The updated Scout series comes in three models. All use CVA’s proven ambidextrous Scout action, which uses the hooked triggerguard to open the action and is fired by a manually-cocked external hammer. Upgrades include a Picatinny rail optics mount and re-designed ergonomics, new grip texture and steel QD sling swivel studs. The buttstock that has an adjustable length of pull of 1” with a removable spacer and a comb height that is adjustable through the use of two cheek risers of different heights.
