CVA Cascade .308 Win 22in Threaded Bolt Rifle OD Green
About this product
What is the CVA Cascade .308 Win 22in Threaded Bolt Rifle OD Green? It's a precision-oriented field rifle engineered for suppressor-ready operation with a 5/8×24 threaded muzzle and Cerakote-protected 4140 carbon steel barrel. I specify it for hunters and tactical shooters who prioritize mounting flexibility and environmental resistance without adding excessive weight at 6.8 pounds.
What is the CVA Cascade .308 Win used for?
This rifle serves as a suppressor-host platform for medium-game hunting and precision field shooting where threaded muzzle devices are essential. Its 1:10 twist rate stabilizes .308 projectiles from 150 to 180 grains effectively, while the 22-inch barrel provides optimal velocity retention for shots out to 600 yards. The OD green Cerakote finish resists moisture and abrasion during extended backcountry use.
How does the CVA Cascade compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic?
The Cascade outperforms the Stevens 334 in barrel threading and corrosion resistance, featuring a standard 5/8×24 thread versus the Stevens' often unthreaded or adapter-required muzzle. Where the Stevens 334 weighs 6.5 pounds and uses basic bluing, the Cascade's 6.8-pound weight includes Cerakote protection and a fiberglass-reinforced stock that's more rigid in temperature swings. For suppressor users, the Cascade's factory threading saves $150-200 in gunsmithing costs compared to retrofitting a Stevens.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 6.8 pounds (108.8 ounces) with an overall length of 42.5 inches including the 22-inch barrel. The action length measures 8.7 inches from recoil lug to bolt face, accommodating standard long-action optics mounts. The stock's length of pull is 13.75 inches, fitting most adult shooters without modification.
Who is this NOT for?
Avoid this rifle if you require left-hand operation or prefer traditional walnut stocks—the action is right-hand only and the synthetic stock lacks wood's aesthetic warmth. Budget-conscious buyers seeking a basic plinker should consider the Stevens 334 instead, as the Cascade's $731.99 price reflects its suppressor-ready features and Cerakote finish.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle with one 4-round detachable magazine, a 0 MOA Picatinny rail pre-installed on the drilled-and-tapped receiver, and a thread protector for the 5/8×24 muzzle. Unlike some competitors, CVA includes the optic rail—saving you $35-50 compared to the Stevens 334 which often ships without one.
Is the CVA Cascade worth it at $731.99?
Yes, for shooters planning to run a suppressor or muzzle device, as the factory threading and corrosion-resistant Cerakote justify the $150 premium over non-threaded alternatives. The inclusion of the Picatinny rail and reinforced stock adds value for optics users and those operating in wet environments, making it a purpose-built tool rather than a compromise.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with 7.62×51 NATO ammunition?
- Yes, the .308 Winchester chamber safely fires 7.62×51 NATO rounds due to identical chamber dimensions, though expect a 50-75 fps velocity drop compared to commercial .308 loads due to NATO's lower pressure spec.
- Does it fit in a standard 42-inch rifle case?
- No, the 42.5-inch overall length requires a 44-inch case for safe transport. Plano's All-Weather Case #108140 provides 44.5 inches of interior space with foam.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- FFL shipments to Montana take 3-5 business days via FedEx Priority Overnight, assuming your FFL’s license is on file with Ironclad Armory before order processing.
- Can I return it if the threading is damaged?
- No, returns aren’t accepted for muzzle threading damage per Ironclad Armory’s policy, as it’s considered user-induced alteration. Have a gunsmith inspect threads before mounting devices.
- Does this work with a SilencerCo Omega 300 suppressor?
- Yes, the 5/8×24 threads directly accept SilencerCo’s ASR muzzle devices or their Bravo mount system without adapters, maintaining concentricity for safe baffle alignment.
