Description
The CVA Cascade LR Hunter 6.5 Creedmoor 22in Threaded Realtree is a bolt-action rifle built for hunters who demand precision at extended ranges without dragging a custom gun safe to the blind. Chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, this rifle pairs a medium-heavy, fluted 22-inch threaded barrel with a Realtree Hillside synthetic stock, giving you a stable platform that stays put when the wind picks up. The adjustable length of pull and cheek riser let you dial in your fit, so every shot repeats the same way. Metal surfaces wear a Cerakote bronze finish, and the detachable 4-round magazine keeps reloads quick. This is a factory rifle that thinks like a custom build.

Key Features
- Medium-Heavy Fluted Barrel — The 22-inch barrel is fluted to shed weight and dissipate heat faster, so you can take follow-up shots without the barrel walking off target. Why it matters: keeps your point of impact consistent through a string of fire.
- Adjustable Length of Pull and Cheek Riser — Both the LOP and cheek piece are tool-free adjustable, letting you dial in the fit for heavy clothing or prone shooting. Why it matters: a proper cheek weld means your eye lines up with the scope every time, no muscle memory guesswork.
- Realtree Hillside Camo Stock — The synthetic stock wears a Realtree Hillside pattern that blends into open woods, cutovers, and field edges. Why it matters: you stay hidden longer when the deer is scanning the timber edge.
- Cerakote Bronze Finish — All metal surfaces get a Cerakote bronze coating that resists rust, scratches, and glare. Why it matters: this rifle can take rain, sweat, and mud without turning into a rust bucket.
- Threaded Barrel (5/8×24) — The muzzle is threaded and capped, ready for a suppressor or brake. Why it matters: you can quiet the report for less recoil and less noise spooking game.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who walks the line between a lightweight carry gun and a long-range precision rig. If you’re shooting past 300 yards in open country, or you want a single rifle that can handle both a treestand and a prairie dog town, the Cascade LR Hunter fits. It’s also a solid pick for the shooter who wants a factory gun with aftermarket-level adjustability without spending custom-shop money.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Fully adjustable stock for a custom fit; Cerakote finish holds up to hard use; threaded barrel for suppressor or brake; fluted barrel stays cool and light; detachable magazine for quick reloads.
- Cons: The synthetic stock can feel a bit hollow compared to a laminate or chassis; the trigger is good but not match-grade out of the box (though it’s user-adjustable).

Note: Timney and Geissele make aftermarket triggers, not complete rifles. The CVA Cascade LR Hunter competes with other factory long-range rifles like the Ruger American Predator or Savage 110 Tactical, but its adjustable stock and Cerakote finish give it an edge in fit and corrosion resistance at this price point.
