Jerk. Stole my thread's OP slot. Oh, well. The No. 1 is classier than what I have at this point, and my idea for a single-shot thread certainly includes those. I'll still get around to writing the post eventually. Maybe a little sooner now that we're up and running.



If you're serious about that, now is the time. The .300 BLK Scout pistols haven't been available for a couple years, but a bunch have hit at least one distributor in the past week or two. This is the best shipped price I've found. I'm waffling on whether I should, but the fact I haven't yet suggests I probably won't:

I picked up the rifle when the PDW thread was booming, for optimal quietness with .300 BLK.

I really like it. It's short. The bull barrel makes it heavier than it looks like it should be (it's slightly heavier than a Tikka T3 Lite), but it balances well. Carry it one handed under the receiver. The takedown and reassembly is super quick and easy, roughly equivalent to field stripping a pistol, if not faster. It's short assembled, and the pieces will fit in a very ordinary back pack. Trigger is decent. It's finished about like a $400 gun. Eventually, I'll decide whether to break out the files to break the edges, or just keep on letting it be. I am all over the files, I just don't have a good stainless-only bead blast setup and am not sure I want to spend the money to get one.

Overall, an extremely handy, packable, versatile little gun. With .309 XTPs loaded subsonic through a can, it's the perfect gun for getting trash pandas out of your trash, and it will put venison in the freezer with TAC-TXs or Hornady subs, too. You can walk around with it in a backpack or gym bag and be invisible. What's not to love?

Comparing it to the RAR in .300 BLK, the only advantage is the takedown feature, which is different enough to not think of them as really directly competing. If that isn't something you see to be a benefit, the Ruger is probably a better choice.

I have posted in the Contender thread about my Super 16 .223 using a Choate M4 pistol-grip butt stock. Should be near a couple pounds lighter than the CVA. I would probably jump on a Super 16 barrel in .44 Magnum if one came along.

I picked up some Handis when they were on clearance several years back but eventually decided that with metal in my spine, .444 Marlin in a lightweight rifle may not be for me. Fortunately, clearance was good enough I didn't lose on that deal. It's all come back around, because the CVA will do everything I wanted to do with the Handis (and more) and I don't have to pay extra to get the barrel chopped and threaded.

Dang for $330 I really dig this

I’ve been going back and forth for several years on a No 1 in either
357 Magnum
22 Hornet
or
30/30 Winchester for no reason except I’d enjoy it.

I’d send it here for his English stalking rifle treatment:

I have a Ruger No. 1B in .270 Win that I bought new in ~1992. Not counting ARs/AK and old bolt action military rifles, it's the only centerfire rifle I own. I've never regretted buying it and never wanted anything else enough to spend the money. Eight or so years ago, I bought my dad a No. 1A in .270 Win. He didn't deer hunt much before then, but I think he's killed something almost every season since. I'd love to have a room full of No.1's and No.3's. 6.5x55 is probably what I would buy next. A No.3 in .250 Savage would be fun too. If I ever make it to Africa, I'd love to take a No.1 in .300H&H.

A .357 single shot would be awesome, but I think it has to be a Rolling Block - https://tippmannarmory.com/rolling-block-357-magnum/

I admit, besides a .357 Rolling Block, a .45-70 Sharps, and a .257 Ruger #1 - my main interest in single shots is focused on muzzle loaders.

A .32 caliber Appalachian Po’ Boy squirrel rifle is on my build list. Along with probably a half dozen or more other black powder guns.

I had no idea that anyone made a .357 Rolling Block. I don't know if I want a 9lb .357 rifle but I bet it would be loads of fun to punch paper with off a bench. Hopefully they add some other options besides the three they have now.

That should be chambered in 360 Dan Wesson or 357 Max.

I was cruising the gunshow isles several years ago, this was pre-300 BO, and came across a set of Redding 300 Whisper dies (I think paid 10 USD). I had always been interested in the round so I snatched it up. Never letting a good deal prevent from wasting money, I bought a G2 contender frame, a carbine stock and forearm from Bullberry (Fred retired and I am sad to see the company go) and I contacted a barrel company (who I would not use again and is out of business) and had them chamber a barrel for 7.62x35R (or 300 BO Rimmed). I form the brass from 360 Dan Wesson.

Not a Rolling Block but how about 7.18 pounds in .357:
