CVA Cascade LRH — 7mm Remington Magnum, 24 in.
Pros & cons
What works
- Adjustable comb height and length-of-pull — provides a precise, repeatable cheek weld critical for long-range accuracy.
- 24-inch medium-heavy threaded barrel with 1:9.5" twist — optimizes velocity for the 7mm Rem Mag and stabilizes bullets up to 175 grains.
- Weighs 8.70 lbs unloaded — heavy enough to mitigate recoil and aid steadiness from field positions.
- 5/8×24 threaded muzzle with included brake — manages felt recoil by an estimated 30-40% and allows for suppressor attachment.
Trade-offs
- Proprietary magazine system — limits aftermarket options and makes spare magazines harder to find than standard AICS patterns.
- No scope bases or rings included — adds $75-$150 to the total cost to become field-ready.
- Heavy for mountain hunting — at 8.70 lbs before optics and bipod, it's over 2 lbs heavier than lighter mountain rifles, a consideration for long stalks.

About this product
The CVA Cascade LRH in 7mm Remington Magnum is a bolt-action rifle configured for long-range hunting, built with a 24-inch medium-heavy threaded barrel and an adjustable synthetic stock. It delivers stable, repeatable performance by combining a durable Cerakote finish with a robust, user-adjustable platform designed specifically for precision work at extended distances. For hunters and shooters who need a field-ready tool capable of consistent sub-MOA accuracy outside 500 yards, the Cascade LRH represents a purpose-built solution.
What is the CVA Cascade LRH used for?
This rifle is engineered for long-range hunting of game like elk, mule deer, and pronghorn in open terrain where shots regularly exceed 300 yards. Its 7mm Remington Magnum chambering provides the retained energy and flat trajectory needed for ethical takedowns at distance, while the 24-inch, 1:9.5 twist barrel stabilizes heavy-for-caliber bullets like the 175-grain ELD-X. The adjustable stock and included muzzle brake allow for a customized fit and manageable recoil during extended range sessions or when making follow-up shots.
How does the CVA Cascade LRH compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Cascade LRH is a more specialized, higher-performance platform than the Stevens 334 Rifle. For the hunter primarily targeting medium to large game at 400+ yards, the Cascade is superior due to its longer 24-inch barrel (versus the Stevens 334's 20-inch barrel in .308 Win), its heavier 8.70-pound weight aiding stability, and its adjustable stock system. The Stevens 334 is a better choice for brush hunting or as a general-purpose rifle under 300 yards, offering lighter weight and a lower price point.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle has an unloaded weight of 8.70 pounds and an overall length of 44.5 inches. Its 24-inch, medium-contour steel barrel has a 5/8×24 threaded muzzle, and the stock length-of-pull is adjustable from approximately 13.5 to 14.75 inches. The comb height can be raised by 0.75 inches from its base position, a critical adjustment for achieving a proper weld with modern high-mount optics. The internal magazine holds three rounds, plus one in the chamber.
Who is this NOT for?
This is not a rifle for casual plinking, tight-quarter brush hunting, or a shooter's first foray into magnum cartridges. The 7mm Rem Mag generates significant recoil and muzzle blast, and the 8.70-pound weight makes it less maneuverable in dense timber compared to lighter rifles like the Stevens 334 in .243 Win. It's also overkill for varminting or range sessions where the cost of ammunition—often exceeding $2.50 per round—is a primary concern. New hunters or those with recoil sensitivity should consider a milder cartridge.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle with the factory-installed muzzle brake already attached to the threaded barrel. CVA includes a single 3-round proprietary polymer magazine, a set of hex keys for adjusting the stock's comb height and length-of-pull, and the owner's manual which includes warranty registration. Note that the box does not include scope bases, rings, a bipod, or a sling—all essential items the end user must source separately to make the rifle field-ready.
Is the CVA Cascade LRH worth it at $890.99?
Yes, at $890.99, it represents strong value for the serious long-range hunter who needs an out-of-the-box adjustable platform. You are paying for the integrated stock adjustment system, a threaded and finished muzzle, and a durable Cerakote coating—features that often cost $300+ to add to a base-model rifle. If your hunting demands shots beyond 300 yards and you require a rifle that can be tailored to your physique and optic, this investment is justified over a standard fixed-stock sporter.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel thread compatible with standard 7.62mm muzzle devices?
- Yes. The 5/8×24 thread pitch is the industry standard for .30 caliber centerfire rifles. This means it will directly accept a vast majority of muzzle brakes, flash hiders, and suppressors designed for cartridges like .308 Winchester and .300 Win Mag without an adapter. Always verify your specific muzzle device's bore diameter is rated for the .284" bullet diameter of the 7mm Rem Mag.
- What scope base does it use?
- The CVA Cascade LRH uses a Remington 700 Short Action footprint. This is one of the most common patterns in the industry, meaning you have a wide selection of scope bases and one-piece rails from manufacturers like Seekins Precision, Nightforce, and EGW. Ensure you purchase a base or rail specifically labeled for "Remington 700 SA" to guarantee proper fitment to the receiver's drilled and tapped holes.
- Does this work with a Magpul Hunter stock?
- No. The Cascade uses CVA's proprietary bottom metal and magazine system, which is not compatible with aftermarket stocks designed for the Remington 700 pattern. The included 3-round polymer magazine is specific to the Cascade action. If you require higher capacity, you must source magazines directly from CVA or an authorized distributor, as standard AICS-pattern magazines will not fit without significant modification.
- How long is the wait for a Form 4 suppressor?
- If you plan to attach a suppressor, be prepared for a significant administrative delay. Current ATF Form 4 processing times for individual applicants average 9 to 12 months through the ATF eForms system. Purchasing from a Silencer Shop powered dealer can streamline the process, but the regulatory wait is inherent to all Title II devices. Start your paperwork immediately if you intend to hunt suppressed next season.
- What is the return policy?
- Due to federal firearms regulations, all firearm sales are final once the transfer is completed at your local FFL. Ironclad Armory cannot accept a return on a firearm that has been transferred to you. If you receive the rifle and discover a legitimate manufacturing defect, you must contact CVA directly using their warranty process, which typically involves shipping the firearm back to them for inspection and repair, a process that can take 4-6 weeks.
