CVA Cascade SR-80 .350 Legend 18-inch Threaded Scout Rifle
This CVA Cascade SR-80 .350 Legend 18-inch threaded scout rifle is built for the hunter who needs fast, close-range action in thick cover. Chambered in .350 Legend, it pairs a short 18-inch steel barrel with a radial muzzle brake and threaded muzzle for suppressor use. The Flat Dark Earth synthetic stock with black webbing and Graphite Black Cerakote finish stands up to wet brush and rough handling. Forward-mounted Picatinny rail accepts long-eye-relief scopes or red dots, and the adjustable front/post peep sights give you a solid backup when electronics fail.

Key Features
- 18-inch threaded barrel with radial muzzle brake – WHY IT MATTERS: Shorter barrel keeps the rifle maneuverable in thick timber, and the threaded muzzle lets you attach a suppressor without a gunsmith. The radial brake cuts recoil so you stay on target for quick follow-up shots.
- Forward-mounted Picatinny rail – WHY IT MATTERS: Positions a scout scope or red dot forward of the action, giving you a wider field of view and faster target acquisition. Perfect for still-hunting in tight quarters.
- Adjustable front post and peep rear sights – WHY IT MATTERS: When your optic gets knocked or batteries die, these steel sights keep you hunting. Windage and elevation adjustments let you zero for your load.
- 70-degree bolt throw – WHY IT MATTERS: Lifts the bolt handle clear of low-mounted scopes and cycles smoothly even with gloves on. You work the action without breaking cheek weld.
- Flat Dark Earth synthetic stock with black webbing – WHY IT MATTERS: Resists moisture, temperature swings, and scratches. The webbing provides a non-slip grip in rain or snow.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who works the edges of cornfields, pushes through brush for whitetail, or carries a gun on an ATV. It suits the shooter who prefers iron sights or a scout scope for fast, instinctive shooting inside 200 yards. If you hunt with a suppressor and want a compact, reliable bolt action in .350 Legend, this fits.
Pros and Cons
- Pros: Lightweight at 7.2 lbs, threaded barrel ready for suppressor, durable Cerakote finish, reliable backup irons, smooth 70-degree bolt.
- Cons: The forward rail limits scope mounting options – you need a long-eye-relief scope or red dot. Not ideal for long-range precision work beyond 250 yards due to the .350 Legend’s trajectory.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the CVA Cascade SR-80 .350 Legend?
The factory twist rate is 1:16 inches, per manufacturer specs. This stabilizes standard .350 Legend bullets from 150 to 180 grains well for hunting use.
Does this rifle come with a scope or rings?
No, the CVA Cascade SR-80 ships without optics. It includes the forward Picatinny rail and iron sights, so you can mount your own scout scope, red dot, or use the irons right out of the box.
Can I mount a traditional scope on this scout rifle?
You can, but the forward rail is designed for long-eye-relief optics. A standard scope would need to be mounted on a separate rear rail (not included) or you may need an aftermarket base. Most shooters use a scout scope or red dot for the intended short-range role.
What muzzle thread pitch does the barrel have?
The barrel is threaded 5/8×24, a common size for .30-caliber suppressors and muzzle devices. The radial muzzle brake is factory-installed and can be removed for suppressor attachment.
