Precision isn’t luck. It’s the product of smart design, consistent fundamentals, and gear that works with you, not against you. When a rifle balances recoil, ergonomics, and field-ready features, the shot feels inevitable.
CVA CASCADE XT steps into that role with a hunter’s mindset and a marksman’s attention to detail.
Built for control: radial brake, weight where it counts
Recoil management is confidence management. The Cascade XT runs a heavier, fluted barrel that settles the rifle on target and soaks up heat without turning it into a boat anchor. The added mass forward helps you track through recoil, while the radial muzzle brake bleeds off gas to tame the push. That combo matters most when you’re glassing a steep hillside and the only shot you’re going to get is the first one.
Fluting isn’t just for looks. It stiffens the barrel-to-weight ratio and aids cooling between strings, keeping your point of impact steady. That steadiness paired with the brake means faster follow-ups and clearer sight picture recovery—advantages you feel the moment the trigger breaks.
Left-handed, right features
This model is purpose-built for left-handed shooters. No compromises, no awkward manipulations—just a clean left-hand action that lets you run the bolt without breaking position. The oversized bolt knob is easy to find and drive, especially with gloves or in foul weather. It’s a small touch that pays dividends when your fingers are cold and the moment is fleeting.
The adjustable stock delivers fit that adapts to you. The OD Green with Black Web finish is more than a paint job—it’s a field-ready texture that holds up to brush, dust, and drizzle. Pair that with a black Cerakote receiver and you’ve got corrosion resistance for the long haul and a profile that doesn’t glare when the sun hits the ridge line.
Why 7mm PRC makes sense in the field
Chambered in 7mm Precision Rifle Cartridge, the Cascade XT is set up for modern external ballistics. The 7mm PRC is built for high-BC bullets, delivering flat trajectories, efficient energy retention, and excellent wind performance. Translation: more forgiveness when the wind shifts and a better margin for ethical shots at distance—provided your fundamentals and dope are locked in.
With the brake in play, the 7mm PRC becomes manageable and repeatable. That makes it an excellent option for open-country hunts, high-desert lines, and any scenario where you need reach without feeling punished behind the glass.
Field practicality you can feel
Balance and handling
The heavier fluted barrel brings the balance point forward just enough to steady off natural rests—packs, tripods, or a knee in a hasty position. It points decisively and settles fast, which is exactly what you want when a shot window opens and closes on a heartbeat.
Weather-ready controls
From the oversized bolt knob to the hardy finish, every control is built to be used with real-world gloves and real-world weather. The bolt pulls smooth, feeds clean, and runs with the kind of repeatability you need when terrain and time aren’t on your side.
Magazine and loadout
The rifle ships with a 2-round magazine—lean, simple, and reliable. Keep it light for the stalk or carry spares in a pouch. The minimalist setup keeps weight trimmed while delivering the rounds that matter.
The Cva DNA
Cva has a reputation for practical hunting rifles that punch above their price class. The Cascade XT stays true to that mission—no gimmicks, just features that matter when the season is on. The $837.99 price point lands in a sweet spot: premium touches like the Cerakote receiver, adjustable stock, and fluted barrel without the boutique markup. You’re paying for performance that shows up on the firing line and in the field.

Optics and setup recommendations
To capitalize on the 7mm PRC, pair the rifle with a quality scope in the 3-15x or 4-16x range with dependable turrets and a clean, holdover-friendly reticle. Use rings or a one-piece mount that maintains zero under recoil and travel. A lightweight but rigid bipod or a sturdy tripod with a saddle rounds out the system for prone and seated shots. With the brake installed, confirm zero with the ammunition you’ll hunt with, and record a fresh dope card that accounts for your altitude and density altitude. Simple, repeatable, and mission-focused.
Ergonomics for real-world shooting
Rifles should disappear in your hands. The Cascade XT’s adjustable stock and controlled recoil help you stay behind the rifle through the shot, watching trace and impact instead of losing the sight picture. That builds trust—trust in your hold, trust in your wind call, and trust that the rifle is going to put rounds where they belong.
