Description
Talley built this rail for one job: giving your short-action CVA Cascade a dead-solid foundation for whatever glass you run. It's a one-piece Picatinny base cut to MIL-STD-1913 spec, so any standard Pic ring or mount clamps right on without fuss. The 0 MOA cant keeps things neutral, which is exactly what you want for general hunting and range work where you're not stretching way out past your zero.
What Sets the Talley CVA Cascade Rail Apart
This one is machined from high-grade 7000-series aluminum alloy and finished with a hard-coat anodizing rated to 65 Rockwell. That combination is why Talley backs the craftsmanship to last the lifetime of the firearm. It's American made and light, and the tolerances are held tight enough that you don't need to lap or shim anything before mounting. The full-length cross slots give you room to slide your rings fore and aft, so dialing in proper eye relief is quick and painless.
Getting the Short Action Rail Mounted
The rail lines up with the factory-drilled and tapped holes on the Cascade receiver, and the box comes with the mounting screws and a wrench so you're not hunting for hardware. Talley includes 1/4-inch 6-48 screws and a Torx wrench for the receiver. A drop of blue thread locker on the receiver screws is a smart move, though Talley suggests nothing stronger than Loctite Blue 242 and says to skip the thread locker on ring screws. Always test fit before you commit to any thread locker, and check with CVA on the correct torque for your receiver.
Matching the Right Cant and Action
One thing worth double-checking before you order: this is the short-action, 0 MOA version, which suits chamberings like the .308 family. If you're running a long-action cartridge such as 6.5 PRC, or you want built-in elevation for long-range shooting, you'll want the long-action or 20 MOA option instead. Confirm your action length and you'll have the right base the first time.

Frequently Asked Questions
Will this Talley rail fit my CVA Cascade?
This base is built specifically for the short-action CVA Cascade and lines up with the receiver's factory-drilled and tapped holes. It suits short-action chamberings like the .308 family. If your Cascade is a long-action cartridge such as 6.5 PRC, you'll need the long-action version instead.
What does 0 MOA mean, and should I get this or the 20 MOA rail?
A 0 MOA rail sits level with no built-in elevation, which is ideal for general hunting and range use where your target distances stay reasonable. A 20 MOA rail adds forward cant to give you more elevation travel for long-range shooting. If you're mostly inside typical hunting distances, the 0 MOA base is the practical pick.
Does the CVA Cascade Picatinny rail come with mounting hardware?
Yes. Talley includes the 1/4-inch 6-48 mounting screws and a Torx wrench in the box, so you have what you need to get it on the receiver. A drop of blue thread locker on the receiver screws is a good idea, and it's smart to check with CVA for the correct torque spec.
Do I need to lap this rail before mounting my scope?
No lapping needed. Talley machines these to tight tolerances so the base is ready to mount straight out of the box. Just clamp on any MIL-STD-1913 rings, set your eye relief along the full-length slots, and you're good to go.
