Description
The CVA CR3961 Cascade Long Range Hunter Full Size 300 Win Mag 24″ Smoked Bronze Cerakote Steel Threaded Barrel, Realtree Hillside Synthetic Stock is built for hunters who want precision at 300 yards and beyond without spending a fortune. This rifle borrows features from target competition rigs—like a medium-heavy barrel and an adjustable stock—to give you the confidence to take ethical shots on big game. I’ve seen guys at the range dial in groups under an inch with this setup, and the smoked bronze Cerakote finish means it’ll hold up through wet hunts and rough country.

Key Features
- Medium-Heavy Barrel Contour: This barrel profile soaks up heat and keeps harmonics consistent, which means you’ll hold tighter groups shot after shot—critical when you’re reaching out past 300 yards.
- Adjustable Length-of-Pull and Comb Height: You can dial in the fit without a gunsmith. A proper cheek weld and reach to the trigger make it easier to shoot accurately from field positions.
- Smoked Bronze Cerakote Finish: This isn’t just for looks—it resists rust, scratches, and weather. Hunters in wet timber or dusty plains will appreciate how it holds up season after season.
- Threaded Barrel (5/8×24): Ready for a muzzle brake or suppressor right out of the box. Threaded barrels reduce recoil and muzzle rise, helping you spot your hits through the scope.
- Realtree Hillside Synthetic Stock: The camo pattern blends into open hills and light woods, and the synthetic material won’t warp or swell in changing weather.
Who It’s For
This rifle is for the hunter who’s ready to stretch their effective range—whether you’re chasing elk in the Rockies or whitetails across open farm fields. It’s also a solid choice for the shooter who wants to dabble in long-range target work without buying a dedicated competition gun. If you’re new to magnum calibers, the adjustable stock and threaded barrel help tame the 300 Win Mag’s snap.
Pros and Cons
Pros: Affordable for a long-range setup; adjustable stock fits a wide range of shooters; Cerakote finish is tough as nails; threaded barrel is suppressor-ready.
Cons: The 24-inch barrel can feel a bit muzzle-heavy when carrying through thick brush—something to consider if you’re used to a lightweight mountain rifle. Also, the trigger, while decent, isn’t as crisp as an aftermarket unit like a Timney.

FAQ
Does the CVA CR3961 Cascade Long Range Hunter come with a scope?
No, this is a rifle-only package. You’ll need to mount your own scope and rings. The receiver is drilled and tapped for standard bases, so you can easily add any optic you prefer.
What twist rate does the 300 Win Mag barrel have?
Per CVA specs, the barrel has a 1:10 twist rate, which stabilizes most factory 300 Win Mag loads from 150 to 220 grains. That includes common hunting bullets and match projectiles.
Can I use this rifle for target shooting at 1,000 yards?
Absolutely. The medium-heavy barrel and adjustable stock make it a capable platform for long-range target work. Many shooters have reported sub-MOA groups with quality match ammo at extended distances.
Is the Realtree Hillside pattern good for western hunting?
Yes. The pattern blends well with sage, dry grass, and rock outcroppings common in the West. It’s also effective in open hardwood forests and agricultural fields.
