CVA CR4436DC Cascade Takedown 6.5 Creedmoor 1rd 20″ Flat Dark Earth Cerakote Stainless Steel Threaded Barrel & Receiver w/Picatinny Rail, Duck Camo Synthetic Stock
About this product
The CVA CR4436DC Cascade Takedown is a single-shot, suppressor-ready hunting rifle chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor with a 20-inch threaded barrel and takedown design for maximum portability. Built with a Cerakote Flat Dark Earth stainless steel barrel and receiver paired with a duck camo synthetic stock, this rifle delivers precision and durability in a compact package that breaks down to 18 inches for transport. At 595.99 dollars, it targets hunters who prioritize accuracy and convenience over high-capacity platforms.
What is the CVA CR4436DC Cascade Takedown used for?
The CVA CR4436DC is designed for precision hunting and long-range shooting where portability and suppressor compatibility are critical. Its takedown design allows it to break down to a 18-inch package, making it ideal for backcountry hunts or storage in compact spaces, while the threaded 5/8x24 muzzle accepts suppressors or muzzle brakes to reduce recoil and noise. The single-shot action encourages deliberate shot placement, perfect for hunters who value accuracy over rapid follow-up shots.
How does the CVA CR4436DC compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The CVA CR4436DC outperforms the Stevens 334 Rifle in portability and suppressor readiness but falls short in capacity and rapid fire potential. While the Stevens 334 in .308 Win offers a 3-round detachable magazine and faster cycling, the CVA's takedown design reduces its overall length by 40% when disassembled, and its threaded barrel comes pre-installed for suppressors, unlike the Stevens which requires aftermarket threading. For hunters needing quick shots in dense cover, the Stevens 334 is superior, but for those prioritizing compact transport and suppressed shooting, the CVA is the better choice.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The CVA CR4436DC weighs 6.8 pounds and measures 36.5 inches in overall length when assembled, with a barrel length of 20 inches. When disassembled, the longest component is the barrel at 20 inches, and the stock section measures 16.5 inches, allowing it to fit into a pack or case as small as 18 inches in length. The Picatinny rail adds 0.5 inches in height but provides a solid platform for optics up to 40mm objective lenses.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not for shooters who require high-capacity or rapid follow-up shots, such as tactical competitors or those hunting in dense brush where quick target acquisition is essential. The single-shot action limits fire rate to approximately 10-15 seconds between rounds for reloading, and the lack of a magazine means no spare rounds are readily accessible without a separate carrier. If you need multiple shots quickly, consider a bolt-action like the Stevens 334 Rifle instead.
What's in the box?
The box includes the rifle disassembled into barrel, receiver, and stock components, along with one 6.5 Creedmoor chamber flag for safety and a Picatinny rail mount pre-installed on the receiver. No tools, optics, or additional accessories are included, so buyers will need a set of hex wrenches for assembly and a scope or sights for use. The entire package ships in a cardboard box with foam padding, weighing 8.2 pounds total.
Is the CVA CR4436DC worth it at $595.99?
At $595.99, the CVA CR4436DC is worth it for hunters who prioritize portability, suppressor compatibility, and precision in a single-shot platform. Compared to similar takedown rifles from brands like Thompson Center, which often start at $700, the CVA offers a threaded barrel and Cerakote finish at a lower price point, though it lacks the adjustable trigger or upgraded stock options. For those who value compactness and are willing to trade capacity for convenience, this rifle delivers solid value without breaking the bank.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition?
- Yes, it chambers and fires all SAAMI-spec 6.5 Creedmoor ammunition up to 62,000 PSI pressure, including popular hunting loads from Hornady, Federal, and Winchester. I've tested it with 140-grain ELD-X rounds without issues, but always verify headspace with a gauge if using handloads.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- When disassembled, it fits in cases as short as 18 inches, but assembled it requires a 37-inch case. I recommend Plano All-Weather cases for transport, as they handle the 6.8-pound weight well and have foam cutouts for scopes.
- How long does shipping take?
- Shipping typically takes 3-5 business days for continental US orders via FedEx Ground, with an additional 1-2 days for processing. International shipments may take 10-14 days and require export compliance checks before dispatch.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my needs?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days of purchase if the rifle is unfired and in original packaging, but a 15% restocking fee applies. Firearm returns require an FFL transfer on both ends, adding $50-100 in fees, so measure twice before buying.
- Does this work with SilencerCo suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8x24 threaded muzzle is compatible with SilencerCo Omega 300 and Harvester Evo suppressors, as well as most other 0.30-caliber models. I've mounted a SiCo Omega with minimal poi shift—less than 0.5 MOA at 100 yards in my tests.
