Description
You’re in a Missouri treestand, the morning fog clinging to the timber. A whitetail steps into a narrow shooting lane at 80 yards. You have one shot, and it needs to count. That’s the scenario the CVA Scout V2 Single Shot .44 Magnum 22″ Stainless Steel Barrel Synthetic Stock Realtree Xtra Green Camouflage rifle is built for. It’s a purpose-driven, no-nonsense hunting rifle that combines rugged simplicity with modern performance. When it comes to close-cover hunting where shots are measured and decisive, this single-shot platform delivers power and precision without the bulk or complexity of a repeater.
The CVA Scout V2 is a break-action, single-shot rifle chambered in the potent .44 Magnum cartridge. It features a 22-inch stainless steel barrel for corrosion resistance, a synthetic stock wrapped in Realtree Xtra Green camouflage, and a crisp, adjustable trigger. This rifle is designed for hunters who value shot discipline, lightweight carry, and reliable performance in damp, brushy environments. It’s a tool that demands and rewards marksmanship. The rifle’s overall length is a manageable 37.5 inches, making it easy to maneuver in a blind or thicket.
Key Features
The stainless steel barrel is the workhorse here. It shrugs off Missouri’s morning dew and winter precipitation, ensuring long-term durability with minimal maintenance. The 22-inch length provides an excellent balance for the .44 Magnum, allowing the cartridge to reach its ballistic potential without unnecessary weight out front. The barrel is topped with a Weaver-style base, ready for you to mount your preferred optic—a low-power variable or a red dot from brands like Vortex or Leupold would be a natural fit. No gunsmithing required to get it scope-ready.
Break-action simplicity is a major advantage. The action is robust and locks up tight, contributing to consistent accuracy. It also allows for easy, visual confirmation that the chamber is clear—a critical safety feature. Loading and unloading is intuitive. The synthetic stock clad in Realtree Xtra Green camouflage isn’t just for looks; it breaks up your outline effectively in leafy spring or early fall settings and stands up to hard use where a wood stock might show wear. The rifle weighs in at a lean 6.5 pounds, so you won’t feel it after hours on the trail.

Pros & Cons
Pros: Incredibly simple and reliable mechanism. The stainless/camo combo is highly weather-resistant. Lightweight and easy to carry all day. The adjustable trigger allows for a clean, personalized break. Its single-shot nature enforces deliberate shooting. At $347.88, it represents a solid value for a dedicated hunting tool.

Cons: Obviously, you get one shot before reloading. That’s a limitation in any scenario requiring rapid follow-ups. The synthetic stock, while durable, may not have the aesthetic appeal of wood to some shooters. The .44 Magnum is best suited for short to medium-range hunting; it’s not a long-range cartridge.
Who Is This Rifle For?
This rifle is for the Missouri hunter who stalks timber, manages woodlots, or sits in a brushy funnel. It’s perfect for deer and hog hunting inside 125 yards where a quick, ethical shot is the rule. It’s also an excellent choice for a young or new hunter learning fundamentals—the single-shot design teaches patience and precision. For a minimalist, durable rifle that does one thing very well, the Scout V2 fits the bill. Here’s the thing—it forces you to make your first shot your best shot, and that’s a good habit for any shooter.
