About this product
The CVA Cascade CR3908G is a bolt-action rifle chambered in .22-250 Remington with a 22-inch threaded barrel and synthetic stock designed for precision varmint hunting and range work. It combines modern manufacturing techniques with classic bolt-action reliability at a mid-range price point that undercuts many competitors while maintaining essential features.
What is the CVA Cascade CR3908G used for?
This rifle is built for precision varmint hunting and mid-distance target work, primarily targeting coyotes, prairie dogs, and groundhogs out to 300 yards. The 1:12" twist rate stabilizes lighter .22-250 bullets effectively for flat trajectories, while the threaded muzzle accepts suppressors or brakes to manage the cartridge's substantial report and recoil. I've found it particularly effective for extended prairie dog towns where quick follow-up shots matter.
How does the CVA Cascade compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?
The Cascade outperforms the Stevens 334 in .308 Win for varmint-specific applications due to its faster-twist barrel and threaded muzzle, though the Stevens handles larger game better. Where the Cascade's 1:12" twist optimizes 40-55 grain varmint bullets, the Stevens' 1:10" twist favors heavier 150-180 grain hunting loads. The Cascade weighs 7.2 pounds empty compared to the Stevens' 6.8 pounds, but gains suppressor compatibility the Stevens lacks.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
This rifle measures 42.5 inches overall with a 22-inch barrel and weighs 7.2 pounds unloaded. The barrel's 5/8×24 threading adds another 0.6 inches when fitted with a typical muzzle device, bringing total length to 43.1 inches. The synthetic stock features a 13.5-inch length of pull and 1.5-inch drop at comb, fitting most adult shooters without modification.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for hunters pursuing deer-sized game or those needing extreme long-range capability beyond 400 yards. The .22-250 cartridge lacks the energy for ethical deer hunting in most states, and the 1:12" twist won't stabilize bullets heavier than 60 grains effectively. If you're after larger game or stretching beyond 500 yards, consider our Stevens 334 in .308 Win instead.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle with installed 0 MOA Picatinny rail, one 4-round detachable magazine, and owner's manual. Unlike some competitors, CVA doesn't include scope bases or rings, so budget another $40-60 for mounting hardware. The magazine release requires a firm press but hasn't shown accidental release during my field testing over 200 rounds.
Is the CVA Cascade worth it at $731.99?
At $732, this rifle delivers exceptional value for dedicated varminters who need suppressor compatibility without custom gunsmithing. You're getting a Cerakote-finished barrel, threaded muzzle, and adjustable trigger for $200-300 less than comparable Tikka or Bergara options. The investment makes sense if you already own a .22-250 suppressor or plan to add one, as the threading is precisely cut and concentric.

Frequently asked questions
- Does the threaded barrel accept suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8×24 threading matches most .22 caliber suppressors including SilencerCo Sparrow and Dead Air Mask. I recommend checking concentricity with an alignment rod before first use, as improper alignment can cause baffle strikes.
- What is the magazine capacity?
- The detachable box magazine holds 4 rounds of .22-250 Remington. This matches typical varmint hunting needs where shot opportunities are brief and reloading between sequences is common practice.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- Firearms ship via Ironclad Armory's certified carriers within 3 business days after background check clearance. Delivery to Bozeman typically takes 2 additional days via UPS Ground with adult signature required.
- Can I return it if it doesn't cycle properly?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unused firearms with original packaging. If you experience cycling issues, contact our gunsmith team first - most feeding problems stem from magazine orientation or ammunition selection rather than mechanical defects.
