CVA Cascade LR Hunter .308 Win 22-inch Threaded Smoked Bronze/Black

The CVA Cascade LR Hunter .308 Win 22-inch Threaded Smoked Bronze/Black is a production-grade bolt-action rifle that punches well above its price point for long-range precision and hunting. Chambered in .308 Win / 7.62 NATO, it pairs a 22-inch fluted, threaded steel barrel with a radial muzzle brake and a fully adjustable synthetic stock. The smoked bronze Cerakote over black base finish is both durable and purpose-built for extended field use. This is a rifle designed to deliver consistent sub-MOA accuracy without the custom-gun price tag.

Key Features

• 22-inch Fluted and Threaded Barrel with Radial Muzzle Brake — WHY IT MATTERS: The fluting reduces weight while maintaining stiffness, the 5/8×24 threading accepts standard suppressors or brakes, and the included radial brake cuts recoil by roughly 40% so you can spot your own hits at distance.
• Adjustable Length-of-Pull and Comb Height Stock — WHY IT MATTERS: You can dial in LOP from 13.5 to 14.5 inches and comb height from cheek weld to chin weld, ensuring consistent eye alignment with your scope for repeatable accuracy.
• User-Adjustable Trigger — WHY IT MATTERS: The trigger breaks cleanly between 2.5 and 4.5 lbs with zero creep out of the box, letting you fine-tune pull weight to your preference without a gunsmith.
• Cerakote Finish on Barrel and Action — WHY IT MATTERS: Per CVA specs, the Cerakote Smoked Bronze finish resists corrosion, scratches, and harsh weather, so the rifle holds up through wet hunts and range sessions without rust.
• Integral 20 MOA Picatinny Rail — WHY IT MATTERS: The rail is machined directly into the receiver, giving you a solid zero base for long-range optics and eliminating the need for aftermarket rails.

Who It’s For

This rifle is for the precision-minded hunter who wants one gun for both the range and the field. It suits shooters who need an adjustable stock to fit different shooting positions, a threaded barrel for suppressor use, and a factory trigger that doesn’t require swapping. If you’re building a .308-based long-range setup under $1,000, the Cascade LR Hunter is a strong candidate.

Pros & Cons

• Pros: Sub-MOA guarantee out of the box; fully adjustable stock; Cerakote finish; radial brake included; AICS magazine compatibility.
• Cons: The stock’s adjustment knobs can be slightly stiff to operate when cold; the included 4-round magazine is fine for hunting but you may want 10-rounders for range use.

The Cascade splits the difference: more adjustability than the Ruger, lighter weight than the Bergara, and a Cerakote finish standard on both. If you want a lightweight hunting rifle that still shoots like a precision rig, this is it.
