In this video, I sight in the CVA Scout 350 Legend using Winchester Soft Point 180 grain bullets. It was a great day to get out in the wild outdoors.
You get on paper at 25 and sight in at 100 yards. 1”-1 1/2” low at 25 will put you close to dead on @100. Try taking your hand off the barrel when shooting, you might not notice it but your pulling the barrel into the forearm and it’s making the rifle inconsistent. I have 3 scouts, 2 rifles and a pistol they all shoot 1” or less at 100 yards with Winchester 180 power points
Get your hand off the barrel, and forget the ballistic charts
Thanks for sharing!! Enjoyed the video!
Yes sir, thanks for watching! The video doesn't show everything. I learned that the correct zero at 25 yards is 3/4" low. That puts it at 1.5" high at 100 yards. But hey, that is why you shoot to learn exactly what the gun will and won't do.
Your scope is not 1 1/2” high ( above the bore). When you put in your data into the ballistic calculator, measure from the center of your scope lens to the center of the bore. It’s probably 2” or 2 1/2” above the bore. That’s what is wrong with the calculation. The calculators sometimes just have 1 1/2” as the default ( common scope height). But single shots with an exposed hammer cause the scope to need to be mounted higher. And, your objective lens on your scope is large ( the front lens). So you likely have extra high scope mounts. Anyway, I hope this helps you.
@@glynnmitchell9253 Yes you nailed
It. Thanks for watching!
I appreciate you doing the video buddy definitely what I needed to see looks like I'll be sighting in a rifle this evening
You betcha!
I have that same rifle. Shot a few deer with it last year using the same Winchester ammo. It performed well on the deer. I could keep a 1.5-2 inch groups at 100. I hope to try a few different loads for it this season.
I'm going to shoot some 140 grains out of my mine real soon!
in illinois myself and recently traded for a new cva scout 350 to deerhunt with handloads. finding scope mount/rings to fit my short arms/eye relief has been a pain. why they couldn't put a regular picatinny rail on there, i don't know! handloads showing some progress so far with 9mm pisto; bullets, but have only shot a few out of it so far to experiment at 50 and 25. not going to get too serious until scope mounting/eye distance gets rectified for hunting purposes. hate to put additional money into it for a few days deerhunting, but considering aftermarket rail....not many choices and all relatively expensive for my taste. anyway, thanks for the video! your not the only one laying down the 12 gauge slug boomers for this fall!
Yes sir it can be a pain with mounting the scope. I'm trying a new ammunition soon. Hopefully I have better results. To be honest, I'm not happy the way the Winchester ammo performed. Thanks for watching!
Spend the $60-70 to get a Picatinny rail from Talley. The real problem is today's scopes are made with shorter tubes, which just about requires a rail on ANY gun. I have used both digital night vision and thermal on my Scout, as well as a prism scope. It gets the job done.
Very good video. I have a 350 cva on the way.
Thanks for watching!
180s shoot very well out of my cva scout and they performed very well on my deer this year
That's great. Sometimes it works out for different folks and that's all that matters. Thanks for watching!
@@TrentGunnellGeorgiaExposure of course.. keep up the content!
@@18jeepsrt74 Thanks I will. I just need to get some folks to subscribe.
@@TrentGunnellGeorgiaExposure i got you!
@@18jeepsrt74 Thanks brother!
My Scout V2 in 45-70 will stack the Hornady 325gr lever evolutions into an inch at 100yds consistently. It doesn't seem to like 405gr cast. I keep it sighted in 1" high at 100. It hits an inch or so low at 50. I have an old Weaver K1.5 mounted very low and it's been great so far, which is probably less that 4 boxes of ammo to date.
That's great information to know. All guns are unique in the way they perform.
My CVA Scout in 6.5 averages .7-1” groups at 100 yards with 5 shots. 3 shot groups were .4-.6” at 100. Get your hand off the barrel when you shoot.
For deer hunting I don't see any issues with your ammo, rifle or shooting. Sometimes we get really overly striving for perfection due to the hundreds of videos we watch on UA-cam and other places.
If i can keep my rounds in a paper plate at 100 yards , I'm ready to gunt Bambi lol.
Grear Video!
You are right. We all strive for perfection. For deer hunting it will get the job done! Thanks for watching!
Great video. I'd definitely try out another brand of ammo.
Yes I definitely want to. Problem is, you can't find anything besides Winchester in stock.
Keep your fingers off the barrel. You are interfering with the harmonics of the barrel. The barrel must settle on its own. Bad habit. I have three of these guns and they are extremely accurate.
FYI winchester has a new copper round that has a transparent red polymer tip its ok but don’t get your hopes up too high it worked ok in my gun but you gotta try to get the lighter grns if you want to see good results and yes fed non typ whtl rounds are very good in the field
I have recently purchased some 160 grain all copper bullets from Bear Creek Ballistics. I'm excited to see how they perform. I will be making a video on that hopefully in the next couple of weeks Lord willing. Thanks for watching!
“What ballistics say” doesn’t matter. It’s a computer and it’s never going to be exact. It’s close, but never exact. You also said to not sight your gun in at 100 yards. Well, however far off you are at 25, you’ll be off by 4x that at 100. The gun and ammo you’re shooting is holding 1MOA groups, there’s nothing to be upset about here.
You are correct @ 4x that at 100. Thanks for watching!
... typical MOD (Minute Of Deer) rifle ... like my dad used to say "if you can hit an aluminum pie plate at 50 yds 2 out of 3 shots you're good to go for deer hunting"
My CVA cascade using the Winchester 150gr copper rounds is sub 1/2in groups at 100yrd
That's awesome! I'm becoming a big fan of all copper bullets. Thanks for watching!
Every rifle preforms different with each bullet. Gotta find one it likes is all.
Very true
Scope above the bore distance matters.
Should scope be low or higher up on a 350 scout like his
It can be wherever it is most comfortable for you. The distance above the bore needs to be put into the balistic calculator to get good results. @@000martin2
His scope and s probably in extra high mounts in part because his scope has a very large objective lens ( front lens). I would suggest using a mounts that allow the scope to be mounted as close to the barrel as possible. Single shot rifles with hammer exposed like this rifle sometimes have to have the scope somewhat higher than normal because you need to be able to reach the hammer to cock the hammer. When you use a ballistics calculator ( on line for free) you just need to enter your correct scope height. I measure from the center of the front lens to the middle of the bore. You don’t have to have the exact measurement, it will likely be 2” or 2 1/2” .
Nice rifle attached to that big scope. Did you let the barrel cool off between shot strings? A hot barrel throws shots all over the place, regardless of the cartridge. Also, some rifles prefer certain brands of ammo and bullet weights over others. You just have to find out which ones your rifle is the most accurate with. Good luck !
Thanks and thanks for watching!
Ahh, I think it shoot pretty good,
It does really good with bear creek ballistics 140 grain.
My CVA scout I have 2 both drive tacks you got to find the bullet it likes best my shoots the Hornady Ftx 3/4 groups
Yes sir, I agree.
Is your CVA a 350 legend? I’ve been trying to decide which ammo to use for mine. If you’ve had good luck with the Hornady custom 165gr I might try that for mine and see how it groups.
@@BallisticFix yes I shoot the Hornady FTX in my 350 legend and my Marlin 444 I’ve just clean that barrel in the 350 I’m gonna try some copper bullets. But I consistently shoot 7.50 or better with the FTX
I found the non-typical’s at Dunhams-not sure if u have those in GA?
I don't think we do.
With 180 gr winchester super X, at 100 I'm dead on and 200 I'm 2 inches low.. that's shooting at a quarter size target. I have the same gun, my savage shoots exactly the same
Awesome! Good luck this season!
Your gun only drops 2” at 200?
Yes...., but with the 140 grain bullets I now shoot, it drops -12" @ 275 yards.@@000martin2
Try the wichester 150 gr xp with the lead core or the winchester 160 gr power max bonded hollowpoint .
I recently tried another 160 grain bullet. Check out my latest video. Thanks for watching!
Check your scope and try different ammo!
Yep, you are correct sir. I did both. I changed my scope and ammo. There are 2 other videos that came out after this one on the CVA Scout 350 Legend. Check them out on my channel. Thanks for watching.
You better get you a winchester or the cva cascade
If hes huntin illinois... single shot is the only option
... the 350 Legend looks a lot like the 357 Maximum cartridge
Yes sir it does.
My cva cascade want do that good
If is fine for deer!
It worked really well on an Illinois buck. Check out my video: ua-cam.com/video/1URBNwZxnY0/v-deo.html
Well it was a free floating barrel.
I think you'd be better off selling your rifle and playing pickleball.
Lol, I think you'd be better off getting 10K of your closest friends to subscribe to my channel. Tell them it's free! Come on - don't disappointment me!
...why would I wear my barrels out trying to shave a 1/4 MOA off my groups with a gun/ammo combo that shoots 2 MOA or less when the gun is being used to hunt animals with profiles as big as a highway billboard (bear, deer, moose, elk, sheep)?
Well... that factory ammo is doing about what you'd expect. Junk. It's designed for Kids at 50 yards or less. Fact.
