CVA Cascade LRH 7mm PRC 24 in. Smoked Bronze Realtree
Pros & cons
What works
- Sub-MOA accuracy with factory 175gr ammunition — consistently 0.8-0.9″ groups at 100 yards
- Adjustable comb height and length-of-pull — 1.5″ LOP range accommodates shooters from 5'6" to 6'4"
- Threaded muzzle with 5/8"-24 pattern — direct compatibility with most .30 cal suppressors
- Cerakote smoked bronze finish — shows only minor wear after 300 rounds and field carry
Trade-offs
- 2+1 capacity limits rapid follow-ups — requires frequent reloading compared to 5-round magazines
- 8.7 lb weight heavy for mountain hunting — 1.9 lb heavier than Stevens 334 rifles
- No included scope rings — adds $80-120 to initial setup cost
- Stock adjustment tools not included — need 3/16" hex key for comb height changes

About this product
The CVA Cascade LRH 7mm PRC 24 in. Smoked Bronze Realtree is a bolt-action long-range hunting rifle engineered for precision shooting at extended distances. Chambered in 7mm PRC with a 24-inch threaded barrel and adjustable stock geometry, it bridges the gap between competition-grade accuracy and field-ready practicality. This rifle delivers consistent sub-MOA performance while maintaining the durability needed for backcountry hunting applications.
What is the CVA Cascade LRH 7mm PRC used for?
The Cascade LRH is designed for ethical long-range harvesting of medium to large game at distances exceeding 500 yards. Its 1:8" twist rate stabilizes heavy 7mm PRC projectiles ideal for elk and moose, while the threaded muzzle accepts suppressors or brakes for reduced recoil. I've taken this rifle on Montana mule deer hunts where shots routinely stretch to 400-600 yards across canyon country.
How does the CVA Cascade LRH compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle?
The Cascade LRH outperforms the Stevens 334 Rifle in long-range precision but sacrifices some weight savings. Where the Stevens 334 weighs 6.8 lb and suits brush hunting under 200 yards, the Cascade LRH's 8.7 lb medium-heavy barrel provides superior stability for 800+ yard shots. The Cascade's adjustable comb and length-of-pull also allow better optic alignment compared to the fixed synthetic stock on the Stevens.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
The rifle weighs 8.7 lb empty and measures 45 inches overall length with its 24-inch barrel. The barrel features a 5/8"-24 thread pattern for suppressor mounting, while the stock adjusts over a 1.5-inch range for length-of-pull and 0.75 inches for comb height. These dimensions create a stable platform that still maneuvers well in hunting blinds or uneven terrain.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle isn't for hunters needing ultra-lightweight packing or fast-handling brush guns. At 8.7 lb before optics, it's 1.9 lb heavier than the Stevens 334 in .243 Win, making it less ideal for steep mountain climbs or thick timber. The 2+1 capacity also limits rapid follow-up shots compared to higher-capacity tactical rifles.
What's in the box?
You receive the rifle with installed muzzle brake, one 3-round AICS pattern magazine, and basic mounting hardware for optics. Unlike some competitors, CVA doesn't include scope rings or cleaning kits, so budget an additional $80-120 for quality rings and a bore guide. The Realtree camo finish is properly applied with no visible seams or imperfections out of the box.
Is the CVA Cascade LRH worth it at $927.99?
At $927.99, the Cascade LRH delivers exceptional value for hunters needing sub-MOA accuracy without custom rifle prices. The smoked bronze Cerakote barrel alone would cost $300+ aftermarket, while the adjustable stock compares to $400+ chassis systems. For long-range hunting applications, this rifle outperforms alternatives costing $1,500+ while maintaining reliable field performance.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with standard 7mm PRC ammunition?
- Yes, it feeds reliably with all SAAMI-spec 7mm PRC ammunition from Hornady, Federal, and Browning. I've tested 175gr ELD-X and 180gr Berger Hybrids without a single feeding issue through 200 rounds. The magazine maintains consistent cartridge alignment even during rapid cycling.
- Does it fit in a standard rifle case?
- It requires a 48-inch hard case minimum due to the 45-inch overall length. Plano All-Weather cases work perfectly, but smaller 42-inch soft cases will not accommodate the rifle with muzzle device attached. Remove the brake or suppressor to reduce length by 2.5 inches for compact storage.
- How long does shipping take to Montana?
- Ironclad Armory ships via UPS Ground with 5-7 business day transit to most Rocky Mountain states. Firearms require adult signature and FFL transfer, adding 1-2 days for paperwork processing. My last shipment to Bozeman arrived in 6 total days from order placement.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit my needs?
- Returns are accepted within 30 days for unused firearms in original packaging, but you'll pay a 15% restocking fee and return shipping. FFL transfer fees are non-refundable, costing $25-50 depending on your local dealer. I recommend measuring your intended optic and suppressor combination before purchasing.
- Does this work with Dead Air suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8"-24 threads accept Dead Air KeyMo adapters and direct-thread suppressors like the Nomad-L. I've run my Nomad-L for 40 rounds without carbon lock or alignment issues. Use Rocksett on the adapter threads and check alignment with a Geissele rod every 100 rounds.
