Not a bolt action but certainly not an AR,
Anyone have experience with this rifle in 450 BM?
Have several ARs in variety of calibers but I found this CVA in another forum and I like the idea of a single shot
Any thoughts or feedback appreciated

The scope mount that comes with it is junk. Mine came with the one piece base/ring mount. Never used that. They now come with the rail, which I did use. Problem is, the rail is not perfectly compatible with Warne rings. They fit, but not like they fit on Warne bases. So, the rings might not hold well on the rail.
And, with the rimless case, the extractor puts pressure on the case, making brass removal a bit difficult. On mine, I found the extractor spring was undersized, allowing it to jam under the extractor, preventing unloading. I was able to locate a stainless spring the correct size, which eliminated that issue.
The forend is easy to adjust for tension and barrel to forend gap. That is important.
Once I ordered my Ruger, I sold the CVA. However, I then bought a Scout in 44 mag. The difference is night and day. It is a much better gun with rimmed cartridges. The 44 cases flick right out with no extractor drag. I tried the CVA rail on the 44, but still got ring movement with Warnes. Switched to Warne bases and it is rock solid now.
