About this product
What is the CVA Cascade Long Range Hunter 6mm Creedmoor 24" 4-Round?
The CVA Cascade Long Range Hunter is a precision bolt-action hunting rifle chambered in 6mm Creedmoor with a 24" threaded barrel and 4-round detachable magazine. Built specifically for extended-range accuracy, it incorporates a radial muzzle brake and adjustable stock components to maintain shot consistency. At $933.99, it's positioned as a serious tool for hunters who regularly engage targets beyond 400 yards.
What is the CVA Cascade used for?
This rifle is designed for precision hunting of medium game at distances where wind drift and bullet drop become significant factors. The 24" barrel maximizes 6mm Creedmoor velocity for flatter trajectories, while the 20 MOA rail accommodates high-magnification optics essential for ethical shots at 600+ yards. I've found it particularly effective for pronghorn and mule deer in open terrain where 300-yard shots are common.
How does the CVA Cascade compare to the Stevens 334 .308 Win?
The Cascade delivers superior long-range ballistics but requires more shooter skill than the Stevens 334 .308 Win. While the Stevens 334 offers familiar .308 Winchester ammunition availability, the Cascade's 6mm Creedmoor cartridge maintains approximately 15% less wind drift at 500 yards due to higher ballistic coefficients. The Cascade also includes an adjustable comb and length-of-pull spacers, features absent on the budget-oriented Stevens platform.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 8.3 pounds unloaded with an overall length of 44.5 inches. The 24" barrel has a 5/8x24 thread pattern compatible with most modern suppressors and muzzle devices. The synthetic stock measures 13.5" length of pull at minimum adjustment, extending to 14.75" with included spacers—critical for proper eye relief with large objective scopes.
Who is this NOT for?
This isn't for close-quarters brush hunting or beginners uncomfortable with trajectory calculations. The 6mm Creedmoor performs best with handloads or premium ammunition costing $2.50+ per round, making it expensive for casual plinking. If you primarily hunt wooded areas with shots under 100 yards, consider the Stevens 334 in .308 Win for its shorter barrel and more affordable ammunition.
What's in the box?
You receive the complete rifle, one 4-round AICS-pattern magazine, three length-of-pull spacers (0.25", 0.5", 0.75"), and mounting hardware for the 20 MOA rail. Notably absent are scope bases—you'll need to purchase separate rings or a one-piece mount, adding $75-200 to your initial setup cost depending on quality.
Is the CVA Cascade worth it at $933.99?
At this price point, the Cascade delivers exceptional value for dedicated long-range hunters who understand the 6mm Creedmoor's capabilities. The combination of Cerakote protection, adjustable ergonomics, and precision barrel exceeds what most manufacturers offer under $1,200. For comparison, similar-performing custom rifles often start around $1,800 without including the adjustable stock features found here.

Frequently asked questions
- Is the barrel threading compatible with suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8x24 thread pattern is standard for .30 caliber suppressors and many 6mm-specific models. I've successfully mounted SilencerCo Omega 300 and Dead Air Nomad-L suppressors without alignment issues. Always verify suppressor bore size accommodates 6mm bullets before purchase.
- Does it accept aftermarket AICS magazines?
- The action uses standard Accuracy International-style magazines, compatible with Magpul, MDT, and Accurate-Mag offerings. I've tested Magpul PMAG 5 AC versions with 100% reliability over 200 rounds. Magazine cost ranges from $35-80 depending on brand and capacity.
- What's the actual trigger pull weight range?
- The factory-adjusted trigger breaks at 3.5 pounds but adjusts down to 2.25 pounds using the included hex key. I settled at 2.75 pounds for hunting applications—light enough for precision work but heavy enough to prevent accidental discharges in cold weather with gloves.
- How long does shipping take to FFL dealers?
- Ironclad Armory processes firearms shipments within 2 business days, with transit times of 3-7 days depending on carrier and destination. Your chosen FFL must email their license to [email protected] before shipment. Expect 10-14 days total from order to pickup.
