The Scout V2 is very similar in design to the APEX centerfire rifle, but without the interchangeable barrel capability. So, for the hunter who wants a high quality single shot rifle in only one caliber, the Scout V2 is an excellent choice. It sports a 22 fluted barrel that is constructed of 416 grade stainless steel, lightweight 100 percent ambidextrous stock, plus it features CVA's CrushZone Recoil pad a real plus for heavier calibers, like the .35 Whelen. It has a genuine DuraSight Dead-On one-piece scope mount as standard equipment.
