A friend of mine texted me an ad for this and I didn't know it existed. Anybody know, seen, handled one of these? I searched CVA website and read about it. Just wondered if, what any of you guys had to say. Friend is interested in it.

Looks like they are just shipping out now.

A buddy has a CVA Cascade in 7-08. He brought it over last summer to get it zeroed in. With inexpensive PPU 140 gr ammunition, it was shooting .7" groups. Needless to say, I was impressed.
It's a nice rifle, especially at the price point it's at.
I would think that the 35 Whelen offering would be a good one.

What I can find out this would seem to offer a good bolt action rifle in 35 Whelen at a reasonable price not having to go the donor route-reboring, re-barreling or high prices for Remington models. Time will tell.

There is something about the 35. I’ve been looking for one in a number one for a while. To date they are all fetching quite a premium. I’m to the point where Im shopping for a donor, they all use the same action/receiver and send it off for new barrel. Cheaper than just buying the Whelen #1.

Don,
You will enjoy tinkering with a 35 Whelen.
It's an easy 400 yard elk thumper.

I’m all for inexpensive ways for people to get a Whelen.
