Description
CVA's Cascade line earned its reputation by giving hunters real precision rifle features without the fuss, and the Cascade XTS keeps that going with a setup that's ready to work right out of the box. Chambered in .308 Winchester with a 4+1 flush-fit detachable magazine, this version rides a 20-inch fluted barrel with a 1:10 twist, finished in a sharp Tungsten Cerakote that pairs with the black synthetic stock. The shorter barrel keeps things balanced and maneuverable, which you'll appreciate when you're threading through timber or climbing into a stand.
What Sets the Cascade XTS Apart
The standout here is the sighting setup. Unlike the standard XT models that ship bare with a scope base, the XTS comes with Marbles open sights mounted from the factory, so you've got a usable aiming system the moment you pull it out of the box. The muzzle wears CVA's Omni brake, an omnidirectional design that tames .308 recoil nicely, and underneath that brake the barrel is threaded 5/8×24 if you'd rather run a suppressor or swap to a different muzzle device down the road.
Built Around the Proven Cascade Action
The heart of the rifle is a three-lug bolt with a short 70-degree throw, which means fast, smooth cycling and plenty of clearance if you decide to mount glass. The single-stage trigger is user-adjustable, letting you dial in a pull weight that suits your style. The fiber-glass reinforced synthetic stock carries CVA's SoftTouch finish for a solid grip in wet or cold conditions, includes an adjustable length of pull via a removable spacer, and has dual front swivel studs so you can run a sling and a bipod at the same time.
A Woods-Ready .308
The .308 Winchester remains one of the most versatile hunting cartridges out there, and this Cascade XTS wraps it in a package that's compact, comfortable to shoot, and genuinely practical in the field. Between the factory iron sights, the threaded muzzle, and the trimmed-down barrel, it's a rifle that's ready to hunt the day it comes home.

Frequently Asked Questions
Does the Cascade XTS come with sights?
Yes. This XTS model ships with Marbles open sights mounted from the factory, so you can shoot it right out of the box without adding an optic. This is a key difference from the standard Cascade XT models, which typically come without sights.
Is the barrel on the Cascade XTS threaded?
It is. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and comes fitted with CVA's Omni muzzle brake. You can remove the brake to run a suppressor or swap in a different muzzle device whenever you're ready.
Can I mount a scope on the CVA Cascade XTS?
Yes, the receiver is drilled and tapped, and the Cascade action is compatible with two-piece mounts built for the Savage 110 AccuTrigger models. Keep in mind this XTS ships with open sights and no rail, so you'll want to pick up the appropriate bases and rings if you plan to add glass.
What makes the Cascade XTS good for hunting .308?
The 20-inch fluted barrel keeps the rifle compact and well balanced for carrying in the field, while the Omni brake helps soften .308 recoil. Add in the fast 70-degree bolt throw, adjustable trigger, and adjustable length of pull, and you've got a practical, versatile hunting rifle for everything from deer to larger game.
