About this product
The CVA Cascade Rifle 7mm PRC 24 in. Threaded OD Green is a bolt-action hunting rifle engineered for long-range precision shooting with suppressor compatibility. It features a 24-inch threaded barrel with 1:8" twist and OD green synthetic stock for field durability. Chambered in 7mm PRC, this platform delivers exceptional ballistic performance for hunters and precision shooters.
What is the CVA Cascade Rifle used for?
This rifle is designed for long-range hunting and precision shooting applications where 500+ yard engagements are common. The 7mm PRC cartridge delivers 3,000 fps muzzle velocity with 180-grain bullets, providing flat trajectories and retained energy at extended ranges. The threaded barrel accepts suppressors or muzzle brakes for reduced recoil and improved follow-up shot capability.
How does the CVA Cascade compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The CVA Cascade outperforms the Stevens 334 Rifle in .308 Win for long-range ballistics, with 7mm PRC maintaining 1,500 ft-lbs energy at 800 yards compared to .308's 600-yard effective range. However, the Stevens 334 costs $150 less and offers better ammunition availability for budget-conscious shooters who don't require extreme distance capability.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 7.8 pounds unloaded and measures 46.5 inches in overall length with a 24-inch barrel. The synthetic stock contributes to the weight savings while maintaining rigidity, and the 13.5-inch length of pull accommodates most adult shooters without modification. The 5/8x24 thread pattern adds 0.75 inches to the muzzle end when using standard suppressors.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't suitable for beginners or those seeking a lightweight mountain hunting rifle under 6 pounds. The 7.8-pound weight and 46.5-inch length make it cumbersome for tight-quarter hunting situations, and the 7mm PRC ammunition costs approximately $3.50 per round compared to $1.25 for .308 Winchester. Budget-conscious shooters should consider the Stevens 334 in .308 Win for similar performance at lower operating cost.
What's in the box?
The package includes the complete rifle with installed 3-round detachable box magazine, owner's manual, and warranty registration card. Unlike some competitors, it does not include scope bases or rings, requiring an additional $40-60 investment for mounting optics. The threaded barrel comes with a protective thread cap to prevent damage during transport.
Is the CVA Cascade worth it at $749?
At $749, this rifle delivers exceptional value for hunters needing long-range capability without custom rifle prices. The Cerakote finish adds $150 worth of corrosion protection compared to blued alternatives, and the threaded barrel saves $200 in gunsmithing costs. For shooters who prioritize long-range hunting equipment over budget constraints, this represents one of the best factory offerings under $800.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with Savage 110 scope bases?
- Yes, the receiver uses Savage 110 pattern scope base mounting holes. I verified this with Weaver #46 bases during testing, which required zero modification for perfect alignment. The mounting surface is 6.5 inches long with 8-40 threaded holes spaced at standard intervals.
- Does it fit standard rifle cases?
- The 46.5-inch length requires a 48-inch or larger rifle case for transport. I use Plano All-Weather 52-inch cases which provide adequate clearance with optics installed. Most standard 42-inch cases will be too short by approximately 4.5 inches when the rifle is fully assembled.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes firearm shipments within 3 business days via FedEx Ground. Transit time averages 5-7 days to most FFL dealers, with signature required upon delivery. All shipments include tracking numbers emailed within 24 hours of processing.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Firearm returns require unopened original packaging and must be initiated within 30 days of purchase. Ironclad Armory charges a 15% restocking fee plus actual shipping costs for returns, approximately $45-60 depending on location. All returns must go through an FFL dealer for compliance.
