Key Features
- 16.5″ Threaded Barrel — Why it matters: Keeps the rifle compact for treestand or spot-and-stalk hunts, and the 5/8-24 threads let you mount a suppressor to cut down recoil and noise.
- 22 ARC Chambering — Why it matters: This round gives you a 4,000+ fps velocity potential with 50-grain bullets, so you can reach out to 400 yards on coyotes or groundhogs without excessive wind drift.
- Black Synthetic Stock — Why it matters: Weather-resistant and lightweight, it won’t warp or swell in rain or snow, and the textured grip keeps your hand steady in wet conditions.
- Single-Shot Break Action — Why it matters: Simplicity means fewer moving parts to fail. You load one round, take your shot, and reload — perfect for hunters who take their time on a single, ethical kill.
- Adjustable Trigger — Why it matters: According to CVA specs, the trigger breaks clean and can be adjusted down to around 3 lbs, helping you squeeze off a precise shot without pulling the crosshairs off target.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who doesn’t need a magazine. It’s for the guy who walks fence lines after coyotes, calls in foxes at dawn, or sits over a peanut field for groundhogs. If you want a simple, accurate tool that won’t weigh you down on a long hike, the CVA Scout 22ARC BLK/SYN 16.5″ TB fits right in your pack.
Pros & Cons
- Pros: Light weight (5.8 lbs), threaded barrel for suppressors, accurate 22 ARC chambering, durable synthetic stock, adjustable trigger.
- Cons: Single-shot action limits follow-up speed — not ideal for rapid-fire situations like hog drives.

FAQ
Does the CVA Scout 22ARC come with a scope mount?
No, it does not include a scope mount. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard scope bases, so you’ll need to add your own rings and bases.
Can I use a suppressor on the CVA Scout 22ARC?
Yes, the 16.5-inch barrel is threaded 5/8-24, which is a common suppressor thread pitch for .22-caliber and larger. Just make sure your suppressor is rated for 22 ARC pressures.
What is the effective range of the 22 ARC in this rifle?
With a 50-grain bullet at 4,000 fps, you can reliably hit varmint-sized targets out to 400 yards. The 22 ARC retains energy well, making it effective for coyotes and groundhogs at those distances.
Is the CVA Scout 22ARC legal for deer hunting?
Check your state regulations. The 22 ARC is marginal for deer-sized game. Many states require a minimum of .243 caliber for deer. This rifle is best suited for varmints and small game.
