Description
CVA earned its bolt gun reputation fast with the original Cascade, and the XT is what happens when they take that platform and give it the upgrades hunters kept asking for. This .308 Win version wears a 22 inch fluted barrel in a heavier No. 5 taper profile, which settles the rifle down nicely off sticks or a rest without turning it into a boat anchor. The fluting cuts weight back out and looks sharp doing it. The muzzle comes threaded 5/8×24 with a radial brake installed, so recoil is tame right out of the box, and swapping to a suppressor is as easy as spinning off the brake.
Why the Cascade XT Earns Its Keep in the Field
The action is where this rifle really shines for the money. You get a 70 degree bolt throw for fast cycling and plenty of scope clearance, a three lug bolt that runs smooth, and an oversized bolt knob that is easy to grab with cold fingers or gloves on. The single stage trigger comes set around 3 pounds and adjusts from 2 to 4, and CVA stands behind the whole package with a minute of angle accuracy guarantee. A 20 MOA Picatinny rail comes included, so you can mount glass and head to the range the same day.
Midnight Bronze Meets Mossy Oak New Bottomland
This particular setup pairs Midnight Bronze Cerakote on the barrel and receiver with a Mossy Oak New Bottomland stock, a combination that looks great and holds up to real weather. The fiberglass reinforced synthetic stock has a grippy SoftTouch finish, and the length of pull adjusts with a removable spacer, handy if you shoot in heavy winter layers or share the rifle with a smaller framed hunter. The flush fit 4 round detachable magazine keeps the profile clean for carrying.
Chambered in .308 Win with a 1:10 twist that stabilizes everything from 150 to 180 grain hunting loads, this is a do-it-all rig for whitetail, hogs, black bear, and elk. It is a lot of rifle without a lot of fuss.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the CVA Cascade XT suppressor ready?
Yes. The 22 inch barrel comes threaded 5/8×24, which is the standard thread pitch for most .30 caliber suppressors and muzzle devices. It ships with a radial muzzle brake installed, so just spin that off and thread on your can whenever you're ready.
How accurate is the Cascade XT in .308?
CVA backs the Cascade XT with a minute of angle accuracy guarantee, and plenty of owners report groups well under that with quality factory ammo. The heavier fluted barrel is free floated in the stock, and the adjustable single stage trigger breaks clean around 3 pounds from the factory, both of which help you get the most out of it.
What's different about the Cascade XT compared to the standard Cascade?
The XT adds a heavier No. 5 taper fluted barrel for a steadier hold, a radial muzzle brake to knock down recoil, and an oversized bolt knob that's easier to run with gloves on. It also ships with a 20 MOA Picatinny rail instead of a standard base, which gives you extra elevation for stretching shots further out.
Can I adjust the length of pull on the Cascade XT stock?
Yes, the buttstock uses a removable spacer system to adjust length of pull. That makes it easy to shorten the stock for younger or smaller framed hunters, or to compensate for bulky cold weather clothing during late season hunts.
