Description
CVA built its name on rifles that just plain work, and the Cascade Rimfire Classic brings that same no-nonsense approach to the .22 LR world. This is the walnut and blued steel version of CVA's new Cascade Rimfire family, a scaled-down take on the centerfire Cascade that has earned a serious following among hunters. The safety and bolt release sit in the same spots as the bigger Cascades, so if you already run one of those, this makes a natural low-cost trainer. And if you don't, it stands on its own just fine as a squirrel rifle, plinker, or first bolt gun for a new shooter.
What Makes the Cascade Rimfire Classic Worth a Look
The 18 inch barrel comes threaded 1/2×28 with a protector installed, so adding a suppressor or muzzle device takes about thirty seconds. A two-piece Picatinny rail is mounted from the factory for easy optic setup, and the receiver is also drilled and tapped if you'd rather go a different route with sights. The trigger breaks right around 3 pounds, which is lighter and cleaner than most rimfires in this class, and the checkered walnut stock with satin finish gives it a traditional feel that the plastic-stocked competition can't match. Sling swivel studs come standard, and the whole rifle weighs in at a handy 5.5 pounds.
Feeding the CVA Cascade 22LR
Here's the detail that seals the deal for a lot of folks: the included 10 round rotary magazine follows the Ruger 10/22 pattern. That means the mountain of affordable 10/22 mags on the market will run in this rifle, and there's a good chance you have a few in a drawer already. Between the 1:16 twist barrel, the crisp trigger, and that magazine compatibility, the Cascade Rimfire Classic is one of the most practical wood-stocked .22 bolt guns to come along in a while.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the CVA Cascade Rimfire Classic accept Ruger 10/22 magazines?
Yes, and that's one of the best things about it. The included 10 round rotary magazine follows the 10/22 pattern, so standard 10/22 mags will feed this rifle. If you already own a 10/22, your existing magazines carry right over.
Is the barrel on this Cascade 22LR suppressor ready?
It is. The 18 inch blued barrel comes threaded 1/2×28, which is the standard pattern for rimfire suppressors and muzzle devices, and a thread protector ships installed. Spin the protector off and you're ready to mount a can.
Can I mount a scope on the Cascade Rimfire Classic out of the box?
Yes. A two-piece Picatinny rail comes factory installed, so you can add rings and an optic without buying bases. The receiver is also drilled and tapped, which gives you flexibility if you want to set it up differently down the road.
How does the Cascade Rimfire compare to CVA's centerfire Cascade rifles?
It's essentially a scaled-down version of the centerfire Cascade, with the safety and bolt release in the same locations. That makes it a great low-cost practice rifle if you hunt with a centerfire Cascade, since the manual of arms feels identical. The trigger breaks around 3 pounds, which is a nice step up from most budget rimfires.
