CVA Scout Pistol

[Bmccart]

Looking into buying a cva scout pistol for my wife and daughter to deer hunt with during alternative season. Thinking about going with a 350 legend but not sure about the recoil. Does anybody have one chambered in 350 legend?

Either going to get a 350 or a 243. I know the 243 will be fine but figured the 35 caliber bullet will have a little more knockdown power over the 243.

I would go with the 243 Winchester.
That being said, I have no experience with the 350 Legend

Back when I hunted with a rifle it was a 243 Win. Never lost an animal with it. Shots ranged from 30 to 350 yds. Always used good bullets, 85, 95, and 100 gr. Partitions. One worked as well as the other. Waited for the right shot.

338 Fed is another good round and with 185gr bullets, not much recoil.

Not sure what chambering they are available in,but a 7-08 would be the perfect compromise between energy and recoil. I personally think that the 350 would be a little stiff in the recoil department.

The 243 will exceed the 350 in about every way.
