I don't like being a cheater...but I stopped by my friendly, local gun dealer..and there she stood.. a CVA "Scout" rifle''. Heh,heh..had you wondering for a moment, didn't I?
The one I hefted was a .44 mag, black with fluted, heavy barrel... This little gem handled just right..and was such a size as to feel like a compact "Talo". It is available in several calibers..but the barrels are not interchangeable (of course H&Rs aren't supposed to be either). But for the dedicated single shot man (or woman) it is a joy to behold.
The rifles are completely ambidextrous..both the break release and the Monte Carlo work as well for lefties as as rights, like myself.
Yes, I fell in love, but my "first love" at home may well complain if I buy another gun right now..and she would be justified..
Here's a short video on the Scout:

I'm not sure of the MSRP..but my dealer had the Scout priced at $279....
BTW: I understand the Apex rifles are interchangeable:
