I bought my grandson the Scout in 35 Whelen with a 25" stainless fluted bull barrel with a muzzle break. It is a well balanced gun with a great trigger. I don't why CVA makes the Scout 35 Whelen with the 25" barrel and muzzle break when the others are 22". The owner of the gun store didn't even realize the difference until it came in. I will post and let y'all know how it performs!
