Description
The CVA Cascade XT .300 Win Mag 24in Realtree Hillside is a precision bolt-action rifle built for hunters who demand cold-bore accuracy in heavy cover. Chambered in .300 Winchester Magnum, it pairs a heavy #5 taper fluted barrel with a radial muzzle brake to tame recoil and keep you on target for fast follow-ups. The Graphite Black Cerakote finish on the barrel resists rust and glare, while the SoftTouch fiberglass-reinforced synthetic stock in Realtree Hillside blends into timber edges and field edges alike. Adjustable length of pull means you can dial in fit for bulky cold-weather gear or a lighter setup.

Key Features
- Heavy #5 Taper Fluted Barrel – Adds stiffness without unnecessary weight, which means the barrel stays cooler during strings of fire and resists point-of-impact shift when the action heats up.
- Radial Muzzle Brake – Redirects gas to cut felt recoil by roughly 30%, letting you spot your own hits through the scope and stay in the gun for a quick second shot on a running buck.
- Adjustable Length of Pull – Spacers let you shorten or lengthen the stock from 12.5 to 14 inches, so the rifle fits you whether you’re in a t-shirt or a heavy parka.
- Realtree Hillside Camo Stock – The pattern breaks up your silhouette against leaf litter, deadfall, and rocky hillsides, and the SoftTouch texture gives a secure grip in wet conditions.
- Threaded Muzzle (5/8×24) – Ready for a suppressor or brake swap without a gunsmith, giving you flexibility to tune the rifle to your hunt setup.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who spends more time scouting than sitting. If you’re after elk, black bear, or mule deer in open country where a 300-yard poke is routine, the Cascade XT gives you the reach and recoil control to make it count. It’s also a solid choice for the range shooter who wants a magnum that doesn’t beat you up over a box of shells.
Pros & Cons
- Pro: The radial brake is effective without being deafening—you can still hunt without ear pro in a pinch (but always wear it at the range).
- Pro: The stock’s adjustable LOP means one rifle can fit multiple shooters or adapt to layered clothing.
- Con: The factory trigger, while crisp at 3.5 lbs, is not user-adjustable without swapping the trigger shoe. Aftermarket options from Timney or Geissele fit the Cascade action if you want a sub-2-pound pull.
