CVA Cascade XT .308 Win 22in Threaded OD Green
About this product
What is the CVA Cascade XT .308 Win 22in Threaded OD Green? It's a bolt-action precision rifle built for field and range use with suppressor-ready threading and an adjustable synthetic stock. Chambered in .308 Winchester, it delivers consistent performance for hunters and tactical shooters who need reliable mechanical accuracy under variable conditions.
What is the CVA Cascade XT used for?
This rifle is designed for precision shooting at medium to long ranges, primarily in hunting scenarios and tactical training. The 22-inch fluted barrel and 1:10 twist rate stabilize heavy .308 projectiles effectively, while the threaded muzzle accepts suppressors or brakes for reduced recoil and noise compliance in regulated areas.
How does the CVA Cascade XT compare to the Stevens 334 Rifle | .308 Win, 20in Matte Black Synthetic?
The Cascade XT outperforms the Stevens 334 in barrel length and suppressor readiness, with a 22-inch fluted barrel versus the Stevens' 20-inch non-fluted design. The Cascade XT includes a factory-installed radial brake and 5/8×24 threading, while the Stevens 334 requires aftermarket threading for suppressor use, adding $150-200 to its total cost.
What does it weigh and what are the dimensions?
Unloaded weight is 7.8 pounds (3.54 kg), with an overall length of 44.5 inches and barrel length of 22 inches. The synthetic stock contributes to the manageable weight distribution, making it suitable for extended carries in the field without sacrificing stability during firing sequences.
Who is this NOT for?
This rifle is not ideal for beginners or those seeking a lightweight mountain rifle under 6 pounds. The 7.8-pound weight and 44.5-inch length make it less maneuverable in tight brush compared to compact models like the Stevens 334, which weighs 6.1 pounds and measures 40 inches overall.
What's in the box?
The package includes the rifle, one 4-round detachable magazine, a two-piece scope base, and the installed radial muzzle brake. No optic, sling, or cleaning kit is provided, so budget an additional $200-500 for essential accessories like a quality scope and mounting hardware.
Is the CVA Cascade XT worth it at $830.99?
At $830.99, it offers strong value for a suppressor-ready .308 with a fluted barrel and adjustable stock. Compared to custom-threaded alternatives, the included features save approximately $300 in gunsmithing costs, positioning it as a practical choice for shooters who prioritize out-of-the-box NFA compliance without custom work.

Frequently asked questions
- Is it compatible with 7.62×51 NATO ammunition?
- Yes, the .308 Winchester chamber safely fires 7.62×51 NATO rounds due to identical chamber dimensions. Always verify headspace with a gauge if using mixed brass, as NATO cases often have thicker walls that can increase pressure by 5-10% in some loads.
- Does it fit in a standard 48-inch rifle case?
- Yes, the 44.5-inch overall length allows it to fit in most 48-inch hard cases with room for accessories. For added protection, consider a case with foam cutouts, as the radial brake adds 1.5 inches to the muzzle profile.
- How long does shipping take?
- Ironclad Armory processes orders within 2 business days and ships via FedEx Ground, with delivery typically taking 5-7 days to most continental US addresses. Signature confirmation is required for all firearm shipments per ATF regulations.
- Can I return it if it doesn't fit?
- Firearms are non-returnable once transferred through an FFL due to federal regulations. Ironclad Armory offers a 30-day warranty for defects, but fit issues must be resolved through stock adjustments or aftermarket parts, which may cost $50-150.
- Does this work with SilencerCo Omega 300 suppressors?
- Yes, the 5/8×24 threading is directly compatible with SilencerCo Omega 300 and other .30 caliber suppressors using standard mounts. Always use a alignment rod to verify concentricity before firing, as misalignment can cause baffle strikes within 0.005 inches of tolerance.
