The legal wrangling around suppressors has finally been smoothed out a bit for American shooters, and now sportsmen can experienced the same peace-and-quiet in the hunting fields that their more-civilized European counterparts have enjoyed for years. It’s not that suppressors actually “silence” a gun, as the mixed-up media often claims, but they certainly reduce noise to a level that makes everyone happier, and firearms manufacturers are taking advantage of the looser laws to offer hunting guns that come purpose-built for suppressor use. The new CVA Cascade SR fills that role, and it comes with an accuracy guarantee to boot.
[CVA]Naturally, this is based off the Cascade bolt-action series that CVA has sold for years now, also available in scout rifle configuration and other specialized formats. In this case, the Cascade SR has a threaded muzzle that makes it easy to attach a suppressor without modifying your rifle.
[CVA]CVA also shortened the barrel of the Cascade platform to make the SR variant, although the amount it’s been shortened will depend on what caliber you’re shooting. At time of release, the CVA Cascade SR is available in .223, 6.5 Creedmoor, 6.5 PRC, 7 PRC, 300 Blackout, .308 Win., 300 Win. Mag., 350 Legend and 450 Bushmaster. Note that there’s everything there, from varmint rounds to straight-wall cartridges to high-power, long-range magnums. Barrel lengths range from 16.5 inches to 18 inches to 20 inches, depending what version you go for, but they’re all currently priced at the same $849 MSRP.
[CVA]To reduce glare and weatherproof the action and barrel, CVA gave the Cascade SR a Duracoat finish. The stock has a Realtree Advantac Black finish, helping you blend into the woods more easily. The stock has a removable 1-inch spacer, so you can customize your fit. You can customize your trigger pull too, from 4 pounds down to 2 pounds.
With a quality Bergera barrel and that adjustable trigger, CVA has an MOA accuracy guarantee, and a 14-day money-back offer if you have issues. You can also easily find info on the Cascade action from users’ reports on other models, since these have been in production a while now.
MSRP for the Cascade SR is $849. See more details at CVA’s website here.
