New Saddle Gun

[DB4x4]

CVA Scout Pistol in 6.5 Creedmoor. Anybody use one of these or a Thompson Center Contender/Encore out of the saddle?

I was just looking these up last night. I have a S&W 460xvr and a Ruger super red hawk 44 mag. But I’m thinking of going to this platform. I haven’t hunted with pistol from the saddle yet but is got to be a great combo.

I have a cva optima pistol that is basically the same gun in a muzzleloader configuration. They are the best value in the single shot pistol world. I’ve been eyeballing the 6.5 scout for about 6 months but really hoping they will make it in 300 blackout again.

How is it shooting a single shot 6.5 in pistol platform?

Not bad with a good set of ear muffs.

I just picked mine up tonight. Have not fired it yet. Got an itchy trigger finger though...

I’ve never fired one in 6.5x55. I have owned 30-30, 45-70, and 7mm-08 44 mag and 50ae single shots. I would expect the 6.5 to fall somewhere between 30-30 and 7mm-08.

Have you checked out the remington 700cp. I plan on getting one in .300 blkout after the holidays.

I want to get my hands on one. It’s more of a bench gun than a hunting firearm. Your almost 6lbs without a scope. You can hunt with it but it’s more because you want to than it actually adds any benefit.

I have one of the “old” TC Contenders in 35 Rem. with a 14” compensated hunter barrel. Nice weapon, but hard on the ears!

That’s a beast! Should slay some deer!

I have the same. I haven't used it out of the saddle yet. It's deadly on white tails, and the ultimate run and gun weapon. Ear protection definitely required.

@DB4x4 what optic are you running on it.

Id love one in a 44 mag.

I'm thinking really hard about getting a Ruger Raging hunter in 44 mag for next year. They look awesome.

Anybody have any experience with one?

The made it in .44 .357 the first year as well. Mike Bellm has converted some to 357 maximum with excellent results.

I knew Taurus made a raging hunter but Ruger?
