Description
CVA made its name in muzzleloaders, but the Cascade proved the company can build a centerfire hunting rifle that punches well above its class. This version, model CR9951, comes chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 22 inch 4140 carbon steel barrel wearing a Sniper Gray Cerakote finish, matched up with a Big Sky camo synthetic stock. The 6.5 Creedmoor cartridge has earned its reputation the hard way, with flat trajectories, mild recoil, and plenty of punch for deer, antelope, and hogs at practical hunting distances.
What Sets This Cascade 6.5 Creedmoor Apart
The barrel is threaded 5/8×24, so adding a brake or suppressor takes about a minute. The three-lug bolt runs a 70 degree throw, which means faster cycling and extra knuckle clearance under your scope. Feeding comes from a flush-fit detachable magazine holding four rounds, and the two-position safety sits right where your thumb expects it. The receiver is drilled and tapped, and it shares a mounting footprint with the Savage 110, so finding bases and rings is easy. CVA backs the whole package with an MOA accuracy guarantee and a lifetime warranty, which is not something you see every day in this price class.
A Stock Built for Real Hunting Conditions
The fiberglass-reinforced stock wears CVA's SoftTouch finish, a grippy rubberized texture that stays planted in your hands when the weather turns wet or your gloves are soaked. Inside, an integral bedding block and free-floated fore-end keep the barrel doing its job shot after shot. A removable spacer in the buttstock adjusts length of pull, handy for younger hunters, smaller-framed adults, or anyone layering up in late season cold. Dual front swivel studs let you run a sling and a bipod at the same time, and a Crushzone recoil pad soaks up what little kick the 6.5 Creedmoor produces.
At around 7 pounds bare, the Cascade carries well on long hikes and settles nicely on the shoulder or shooting sticks. Pair it with quality glass and it is ready for opening day.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CVA Cascade 6.5 Creedmoor accurate enough for long range hunting?
Yes. CVA backs the Cascade with an MOA accuracy guarantee, and the free-floated barrel, integral bedding block, and crisp single-stage trigger all support that claim. Like most rifles, expect groups to tighten up after a short break-in period. With good ammo and glass, it will handle ethical hunting shots well past 300 yards.
Can I put a suppressor or muzzle brake on this rifle?
You can. The 22 inch barrel comes threaded 5/8×24 from the factory, which is the standard thread pitch for most 6.5mm and .30 caliber suppressors and brakes. Just spin off the thread protector and attach your device.
What scope mounts fit the CVA Cascade?
The receiver is drilled and tapped and shares its mounting pattern with the Savage 110, so bases and rings are widely available and affordable. The 70 degree bolt throw also gives you generous clearance for larger scope eyepieces and turrets.
Is the Cascade a good fit for smaller or younger hunters?
It is one of the better options out there for a shared family rifle. The buttstock uses a removable spacer to shorten the length of pull, so it can grow with a young hunter or fit a smaller-framed adult. Combine that with the light recoil of the 6.5 Creedmoor and it is a very manageable setup for newer hunters.
