Description
The CVA Scout V3 450 Bushmaster 22 in Blued/Stealth Grey is a straight-shooting, break-action single shot that gives you all the thump of a .450 Bushmaster without the weight or complexity of a repeater. I’ve had a few of these on the rack, and customers keep coming back for the Scout V3 because it just works—no frills, no fuss, and it’s ready for optics and a suppressor right out of the box.

Key Features
- Factory Picatinny rail – WHY IT MATTERS: You don’t need to buy a separate base; mount any standard rings and your optic is on in minutes, saving you time and money.
- Fluted, threaded barrel (11/16×24) – WHY IT MATTERS: Fluting reduces weight without sacrificing stiffness, and the threading means you can run a brake or suppressor right away for quieter follow-up shots in the field.
- Break-action single shot – WHY IT MATTERS: Fewer moving parts mean less can go wrong; you get a positive, manual feed every time, perfect for new shooters or anyone who values absolute reliability.
- Stealth Grey synthetic stock – WHY IT MATTERS: It’s weatherproof and won’t warp or swell in rain or snow, plus the neutral grey blends into most hunting environments without glare.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter who wants a straight-up, no-nonsense big-bore gun for deer, bear, or hogs at moderate ranges. It’s also a great choice for the new shooter who wants something simple to learn on, and for the suppressor owner who wants a host gun that’s ready to thread on a can without extra gunsmithing. If you’re looking for a high-volume semi-auto, this isn’t it—but if you value one shot, one kill, keep reading.
