Description
Screw a can onto most hunting rifles and suddenly you're swinging around a pole. That's the whole reason the Cascade SR exists. CVA took their proven Cascade action and matched it with a shorter 16.5 inch threaded Bergara barrel, so once your suppressor is mounted the overall length stays sensible and the rifle still shoulders fast in a blind, saddle setup, or thick cover. Chambered in .223 Rem/5.56 NATO, this one is a slick little rig for coyotes, varmints, and low-recoil range days.
What Makes the Cascade SR Different
Bergara barrels have a well-earned reputation for accuracy, and CVA backs this rifle with their Accuracy and Satisfaction Guarantees, so you're not gambling on how it groups. The barrel and action wear a durable Cerakote finish that shrugs off weather and truck-bed abuse, while the synthetic stock is dressed in Realtree Advantac Black camo that looks sharp without being loud. The trigger is a genuine bright spot too, adjustable from roughly 2 to 4 pounds, so you can dial it down for precise shots on called-in predators or keep it a bit heavier for cold-finger hunting with gloves.
A CVA Cascade SR That Fits You
A removable stock spacer lets you tune length of pull, which matters more than people think when you're layered up in winter clothing or setting the rifle up for a smaller-framed hunter. The 4+1 capacity feeds from a detachable box magazine that sits flush and doesn't snag on gear, and extended 10-round Cascade magazines are available if you want more on tap for a busy prairie dog town.
Where the Cascade SR .223 Earns Its Keep
This rifle makes the most sense for hunters who already run suppressed or plan to soon. A .223 through a can on a 16.5 inch barrel is about as pleasant as centerfire shooting gets: quiet, soft-recoiling, and easy to spot your own hits. Add glass, thread on your suppressor, and you've got a compact predator and varmint rig that's ready to work every season.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the CVA Cascade SR shoot both .223 Remington and 5.56 NATO?
Yes. This Cascade SR is chambered for .223 Rem/5.56 NATO, so it will safely run both cartridges. That gives you plenty of flexibility, from budget-friendly 5.56 range ammo to precision .223 varmint loads.
Is the Cascade SR ready for a suppressor out of the box?
It is. The SR in the name stands for the suppressor-ready design, and the 16.5 inch Bergara barrel comes threaded from the factory. The shorter barrel keeps the overall package compact and well balanced once a can is mounted, which is the whole point of this model.
Are higher capacity magazines available for the Cascade SR in .223?
Yes. The rifle ships with a flush-fitting 4-round magazine, and CVA offers extended 10-round Cascade magazines that fit the .223 Rem. Keep in mind these are proprietary CVA mags, so AICS-pattern magazines won't work.
How accurate is the CVA Cascade SR?
CVA fits the SR with a Bergara barrel, and Bergara's reputation for accuracy is well established. CVA also stands behind the rifle with their Accuracy and Satisfaction Guarantees. With decent glass and quality ammo, this platform consistently punches above its weight for a hunting rifle.
