Description
CVA built its reputation on muzzleloaders, but the Cascade line has quietly become one of the better values in bolt guns, and the XT is the precision-minded version of that story. Since CVA shares a roof with Bergara, the barrels come from the same folks known for turning out seriously accurate tubes. This .308 Win model wears a 22 inch #5 taper fluted barrel with a 1:10 twist, heavy enough to stay steady and resist heat when you're stacking shots, with fluting that trims weight so it still carries fine in the field.
What Sets the Cascade XT Apart
The muzzle is threaded 5/8×24 and ships with a radial brake installed, so felt recoil on this .308 is noticeably softer than you'd expect. Pull the brake and you're ready for a can. The oversized tactical style bolt knob gives you real leverage for running the action fast, especially from prone or off a bench, and the two-position safety sits right where your thumb wants it. The trigger is a user-adjustable single stage that can be tuned from around 2 to 4 pounds, and the ones we've handled break clean with no gritty take-up. A 20 MOA Picatinny rail comes on the rifle from the factory, which is a nice touch if you plan on stretching your zero past typical hunting distances.
A .308 That Earns Its Keep
The stock is fiberglass-reinforced synthetic in OD green with black webbing, wrapped in CVA's SoftTouch finish that stays grippy in wet weather, and length of pull adjusts to fit different shooters and layers of clothing. The barreled action is protected by graphite black Cerakote, so a little rain or truck-bed abuse won't hurt it. Feeding comes from a flush-fit detachable 4-round magazine, and CVA backs the whole package with an MOA accuracy guarantee. For a do-it-all .308 that can pull deer camp duty one weekend and ring steel the next, the Cascade XT covers a lot of ground without a custom-rifle price tag.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CVA Cascade XT suppressor ready?
Yes. The 22 inch barrel is threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard pitch for most .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle devices. It ships with a radial muzzle brake installed, so you can shoot it braked or swap on a can whenever you're ready.
Does the Cascade XT come with a scope or rail?
No optic or iron sights are included, but this model ships with a 20 MOA Picatinny rail mounted from the factory. That extra cant in the rail gives you more elevation adjustment for longer shots, so all you need is a scope and a set of rings to get going.
How accurate is the CVA Cascade XT in .308?
CVA backs the Cascade XT with an MOA accuracy guarantee, meaning it should print 1 inch groups at 100 yards with quality ammo. The barrels come from Bergara, and reviewers regularly report groups well under that mark once they find a load the rifle likes. The 1:10 twist handles the full range of common .308 bullet weights.
Is the trigger on the Cascade XT adjustable?
Yes, it uses a single stage trigger that adjusts from roughly 2 to 4 pounds. Adjustment requires pulling the barreled action from the stock to reach the screw, which is a simple job with a hex wrench. Most ship from the factory with a clean break around the middle of that range.
