Description
CVA built its name on muzzleloaders, then surprised a lot of people when the Cascade turned out to be one of the better value bolt guns on the market. The Cascade XT is the precision-minded version of that rifle, and this one comes chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 22 inch barrel, a 4+1 detachable magazine, and an OD green synthetic stock with black webbing over a graphite black Cerakote barreled action.
What Sets the Cascade XT Apart
The headline here is the barrel. CVA shares a parent company with Bergara, and the XT wears a heavier #5 taper fluted barrel that holds steadier and soaks up more heat during longer strings than the standard Cascade tube. The fluting trims weight back down so the rifle still carries comfortably on a long walk in. The muzzle comes threaded 5/8×24 with a radial brake installed from the factory, which takes the already mild 6.5 Creedmoor down to nearly nothing and makes it easy to spot your own hits. Swap the brake for a suppressor whenever you are ready. An oversized tactical style bolt knob gives you real leverage on the 70 degree throw, and the trigger is user adjustable so you can dial it in to your liking.
A Stock That Fits More Than One Shooter
The fiberglass reinforced synthetic stock has a grippy SoftTouch finish and a removable spacer to adjust length of pull, handy for younger hunters, smaller framed folks, or anyone layering up in late season cold. Dual front swivel studs let you run a sling and a bipod at the same time. Mounting glass is simple too, since the receiver accepts two piece bases made for Savage 110 AccuTrigger pattern rifles, which you can find just about anywhere.
With a 1:8 twist stabilizing heavy 6.5 bullets and CVA's MOA accuracy guarantee behind it, this Cascade XT is a legitimate crossover rifle. Deer stand in November, steel plates in July, it handles both without complaint.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can I run a suppressor on the CVA Cascade XT?
Yes. The 22 inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard thread pitch for most 6.5mm and .30 caliber suppressors. Just spin off the factory radial brake and thread on your can. The heavier #5 taper barrel also handles the added weight of a suppressor nicely.
Does the Cascade XT come with an accuracy guarantee?
It does. CVA backs the Cascade line with an MOA guarantee, meaning the rifle is expected to shoot 1 inch groups at 100 yards with quality factory ammo. The 1:8 twist barrel in this 6.5 Creedmoor stabilizes the heavy, high-BC bullets the cartridge is known for.
What scope bases fit the CVA Cascade XT?
The Cascade XT receiver accepts two piece bases made for Savage 110 AccuTrigger pattern rifles, which are easy to find at nearly any shop that sells optics. CVA also offers a one piece 20 MOA rail if you plan on stretching your shots. The 70 degree bolt throw leaves generous clearance for larger scope bells.
Can the stock be adjusted for smaller framed hunters?
Yes, the buttstock uses a removable spacer to shorten or lengthen the length of pull. That makes it a solid fit for growing kids, smaller statured adults, or anyone who wants a shorter stock when wearing heavy winter layers. The dual front swivel studs also let you mount a sling and bipod at the same time.
