Description
The CVA Cascade 6.5 Creedmoor 22″ threaded bolt rifle, 4+1 is a production-ready precision rig that punches way above its price point. I’ve put a few hundred rounds through one on the clock, and the 1:8 twist 4140 steel barrel stabilizes 140-grain ELD-Ms and 147-grain LRX hunting loads with equal authority. The 22-inch barrel keeps velocity high enough for 1,000-yard work without the handling penalty of a 24-inch tube. Flat Dark Earth Cerakote resists sweat, rain, and carbon fouling—I’ve seen it hold up after back-to-back match days. This is a factory rifle that doesn’t need a gunsmith to hang with custom builds.

Key Features
- 22″ 4140 Steel Barrel with 1:8 Twist — WHY IT MATTERS: The 1:8 twist rate stabilizes heavy-for-caliber match bullets (140-147 gr) for sub-MOA groups at 1,000 yards, while the 22-inch length retains velocity without the swing weight of a longer barrel.
- Flat Dark Earth Cerakote Finish — WHY IT MATTERS: Cerakote adds a hard-wearing, corrosion-resistant layer that stands up to wet matches, muddy stages, and repeated cleaning solvents—no rust spots after a season of competition use.
- Veil Wideland Camo Stock with SoftTouch Finish — WHY IT MATTERS: The fiberglass-reinforced synthetic stock is stiff enough for bipod shooting, and the SoftTouch texture gives you a slip-free grip even with sweaty hands on a 90°F range day.
- Adjustable Length of Pull — WHY IT MATTERS: Dial in your LOP from 13.5″ to 14.5″ to match your body mechanics—critical for consistent cheek weld and recoil management under the clock.
- 70° Bolt Throw with Two-Position Safety — WHY IT MATTERS: The short 70° throw clears low-mount scopes and lets you cycle fast for follow-up shots, while the two-position safety lets you lock the bolt or leave it free for unloading.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the competitor who wants a factory gun that shoots like a custom build without the wait or the price tag. If you’re shooting PRS, NRL Hunter, or local club matches in the 6.5 Creedmoor class, the Cascade gives you a 1:8 twist barrel, a stiff chassis-style stock, and a threaded muzzle for brakes or suppressors. It’s also a solid pick for the precision hunter who needs a sub-MOA rifle that won’t break the bank.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: Factory barrel is true 1:8 twist—stabilizes 140-grain ELD-Ms and 147-grain LRX without keyholing.
- Pro: Stock rigidity is impressive for a synthetic—no flex with a bipod or bag.
- Pro: Trigger breaks clean at 3.5 lbs out of the box (per CVA specs), adjustable to 2.5 lbs.
- Con: Magazine is single-stack 4+1—fine for hunting or slow-fire, but you’ll want an extended AICS mag for stage work.

FAQ
Does the CVA Cascade 6.5 Creedmoor 22″ threaded bolt rifle come with a scope?
No, this is a barreled action and stock only—no scope, rings, or base included. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard 6-48 screw patterns, so you can mount any 20 MOA rail or one-piece base.
What thread pitch is the muzzle?
It’s 5/8″-24, which is the standard for 6.5 Creedmoor and .308 suppressors and muzzle brakes. The barrel comes with a thread protector installed.
Is the magazine compatible with AICS pattern mags?
Yes, the Cascade uses standard AICS pattern detachable box magazines. The factory 4-round mag works for hunting, but you can swap in any 5-, 10-, or 12-round AICS magazine for match use.
What is the barrel twist rate?
1:8 twist, cold hammer-forged from 4140 steel. This stabilizes bullets from 120 to 147 grains—ideal for both match and hunting loads.
Can I adjust the trigger pull weight?
Yes, the trigger is adjustable from 2.5 to 4.5 pounds via a screw accessible without removing the action from the stock. Per CVA specs, the factory setting is 3.5 lbs.
