Contemplating the idea of a singleshot 35 Whelen

There are plenty of TC Encore 35 Whelen barrels on the market right now, in stock in different places, the last I checked. But finding an Encore action is something else again.

Meanwhile, CVA has apparently been selling 35 Whelen "Scout" (model, not style) rifles for about what the Encore barrels sell for... down side is three inches less barrel (am thinking 35 Whelen AI - those extra 3" help use slow powders more efficiently) and they come with a muzzle brake (am not a fan of those). However, I THINK they also have a blue/black (as opposed to the stainless/black) version sans the muzzle brake, judging from online pics.

I'd no idea that CVA was selling break action centerfire rifles. Now I'm curious as to what experience any of you might have with the CVA Scout V2 rifle in general, and the 35 Whelen in particular if such should be the case.
