Description
The Cascade XT is what happened when CVA took their well-liked Cascade platform and leaned into precision. The centerpiece is a 22 inch #5 taper fluted 4140 chromoly barrel, and since CVA shares a parent company with Bergara, that barrel pedigree is nothing to shrug at. The heavier profile soaks up heat during longer strings, the fluting trims weight back down, and the whole thing wears a graphite black Cerakote finish that shrugs off weather. CVA backs every Cascade XT with a 1 MOA guarantee, and in .223 Remington this rifle is a natural fit for coyotes, prairie dogs, and range days where you want to stack rounds tight.
Ready for a Suppressor, Ready for a Scope
The muzzle comes threaded 5/8×24 with a radial muzzle brake installed from the factory, so recoil in .223 is next to nothing and swapping to a suppressor takes about a minute. Up top, two Picatinny bases come pre-installed, meaning you just add rings and glass and head to the range. There are no iron sights on this rifle, and it does not need them. Pair it with a solid variable scope and let that barrel do its job.
A Stock Built for Real Field Use
The fiberglass-reinforced synthetic stock comes in Olive Drab Green with black webbing and a SoftTouch finish that stays grippy with cold or wet hands. Length of pull adjusts from 13 to 14 inches with a removable spacer, so it fits smaller-framed hunters as easily as it fits you. Dual front swivel studs let you run a bipod and a sling at the same time without fighting over one attachment point.
Why the Cascade XT Earns Its Spot in the Safe
Add in the smooth 70 degree bolt throw, oversized tactical bolt knob, adjustable single-stage trigger, and a 4-round detachable box magazine, and you get a lot of rifle for the money. This is a working gun for varmint fields and range benches alike, built to be carried, used, and trusted.

Frequently Asked Questions
Can the CVA Cascade XT in .223 Rem shoot 5.56 NATO ammo?
CVA lists this chambering as .223 Rem/5.56 NATO, so it handles both cartridges. That gives you flexibility to run affordable 5.56 practice ammo at the range and premium .223 varmint loads when it counts. Check your specific ammo choice against the rifle's markings and manual as you would with any firearm.
Is the Cascade XT suppressor ready?
Yes. The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24, which is the most common thread pitch for .30 cal and smaller suppressors, and the factory radial muzzle brake spins right off. Until you add a can, that brake does a nice job keeping the already mild .223 recoil down to basically nothing.
Does the CVA Cascade XT come with scope mounts?
It ships with two-piece Picatinny bases already installed on the receiver, so all you need is a set of rings and your scope of choice. There are no iron sights on this model, so plan on running an optic. CVA also sells one-piece bases separately if you prefer that setup.
How accurate is the Cascade XT out of the box?
CVA backs the Cascade XT with a 1 MOA guarantee, meaning it should print one-inch groups at 100 yards with quality ammo. The heavier #5 taper fluted barrel handles heat better than a thin sporter profile, so it holds its accuracy through longer shot strings. Reviewers have reported groups well under an inch with loads the rifle likes.
