Description
The .300 Winchester Magnum is a do-it-all cartridge for elk, mule deer, and long shots across open country, but it has a reputation for punishing the person behind the trigger. That is exactly where the Cascade XT earns its keep. CVA fitted this rifle with a radial muzzle brake from the factory, and paired with the heavier #5 taper barrel, it takes a big bite out of felt recoil. The result is a magnum you can practice with all afternoon instead of flinching after a box of shells.
What Sets the Cascade XT Apart
The 24 inch fluted barrel is 4140 carbon steel wearing a Cerakote graphite black finish, and it is the beefiest barrel in the Cascade lineup. The extra contour adds stability and keeps your groups tight through strings of fire, while the fluting trims weight so the rifle still carries well in the field. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, so swapping the brake for a suppressor is a five minute job. CVA also gave the XT an oversized tactical style bolt knob, which gives you real leverage for running the 70 degree bolt throw fast, especially from prone or off a pack.
Built for the Field, Ready for Glass
The OD green synthetic stock with black web pattern has CVA's SoftTouch finish, which stays grippy with cold or wet hands, and the length of pull adjusts with a removable spacer to fit you properly. Dual front swivel studs let you run a sling and bipod at the same time. Up top, a 20 MOA Picatinny rail comes installed on the receiver, giving you extra elevation for stretching this cartridge out to distance. Feeding comes from a detachable 3 round magazine, and a simple two position safety sits right where your thumb expects it.
At roughly 7.9 pounds bare, the Cascade XT strikes a nice middle ground: enough weight to settle down a magnum cartridge, light enough to hunt with. For anyone wanting one rifle that handles both the bench and the backcountry, this one covers a lot of ground.

Frequently Asked Questions
How bad is the recoil on the Cascade XT in .300 Win Mag?
Much softer than you would expect from a magnum. The factory radial muzzle brake combined with the heavier #5 contour barrel does a lot of the work, cutting felt recoil down to something closer to a standard short action cartridge. Just remember brakes are loud, so double up on ear protection at the range.
Can I run a suppressor on the CVA Cascade XT?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded in the common 5/8×24 pattern, so the included brake spins off and most .30 caliber suppressors thread right on. It is one of the easier rifles to set up for suppressed hunting.
Does the Cascade XT come with a scope or sights?
No optic or iron sights are included, but the receiver ships with a 20 MOA Picatinny rail already installed. That canted rail gives you extra elevation adjustment for longer shots, which pairs nicely with what the .300 Win Mag can do. Just add rings and your scope of choice and you are ready to zero.
Is the stock on the Cascade XT adjustable?
The length of pull adjusts using a removable spacer, so you can fine tune the fit for your build or for shooting in heavy winter layers. The stock also features CVA's SoftTouch coating for a secure grip in wet or cold weather, plus dual front swivel studs so you can mount a sling and a bipod at the same time.
