Looks like a nice rifle, kind of like an "Entry Bergara B14" or Franchi Momentum category. I read where its trigger can be adjusted in the 2-4# range. I don't particularly care for the "bladed Savage styles Accutriggers" on any centerfire", so a bare trigger appeals to me. I've read some Online reviews, but just looking for field/range experience with it... thanks guys. Jim

I stopped by Sportsmans Warehouse and got to handle one of these Cascades. It was in Creedmoor. Very nice rifle. Has a barrel made by Bergara, handles/fits very well. It was handy, felt lively in the hands (not like a Howa or Venture for sure) trigger is adjustable too. $600 bucks. Possibilities....:)

I handled one at Walmart, seems now that Remington is in stasis CVA is getting their foot into the Walmart door. Definitely not a flyweight, camo pattern OK, price not bad.

I have handled a few of these and they seem to me to be just another Ruger American type price point bolt action rifle, I'd say like the rest of these rifles they are accurate though 👍......Hb

Used one in 350 legend for a Ohio hunt

It was accurate. I was expecting rough fit and finish. It was actually fairly refined.

I was happy with it and could see myself buying one

I seriously looked at buy one in July in 6.5 PRC. I own Ruger Americans and I would buy the CVA Casacde before I bought another Ruger American. A lot smoother action. But they were a tad heavier than I expected though. I still may end up buying one as it’s a little cheaper than the Tikka I like in 6.5 PRC.

I handled one in local LGS, actually looks and feels like a real rifle compared to some of the other budget price stuff out there.

I just bought my second. Good rifles, accurate, truly flush magazine, GREAT trigger. They are a definite step up from the Savage/Ruger American class of rifles.

I purchased one in 450 Bushmaster late last year. It shot great groups with three different handloads. I have yet to try it out on whitetails.

Bumping this back up, hoping that more people have had a chance to handle or shoot these. I'm particularly interested in the SB version.

I have two. First one is a black stock wilt blued steel model in 450 BM. Just got my second which has the camo stock with cerakote steel in 350 Legend. I like both stocks but like the feel of the camo “soft feel” better. Actions are smooth, fit and finish is good, triggers are great.

These are now my favorite centerfires to shoot and I’ll probably sell the two 308’s I have and replace them with a cascade in 308 of course. And I may end up buying some other calibers too. Wouldn’t mind them in 243, 6.5cm, 22-250 and 6.5 prc, not necessarily in that order… I don’t see the 300win mag or 7mm Rem mag in my future.

But yeah, I love these rifles. Have kind of settled on a load for the 450 but still working on the 350. Cast bullets for each, pistol powder and small pistol primers. I’ll also shoot cast bullets in the 308 using Lapua small primer brass with spp’s. Yeah, I have lots of small pistol primers and it allows me shoot these guns as much as I want. I have about 500 rounds through the 450 and only about 75 through the 350 but I’m just getting started with it.

Thank you. How does the stock feel? Is it fairly ridgid? Well shaped?

Feels very solid, like wood with a softer feel. It’s well shaped for me and they are the best “feeling” guns in my safe. Of course, in my humble opinion. These are much better feeling than Savage Axis and TC Compass stocks. Probably on par or a little better than TC Venture and as solid but a softer feel than my CZ 557 American Synthetic. I also like them better than my Rem 700 stock.

I bought my 350 from Sportsman Warehouse and they had 3 on the rack. Saw one in a Dunhams but it was priced higher than retail. So, they are out there. Take one off the rack and feel it, I’d be surprised if you didn’t like it.

I’ve been shooting cast bullets only in mine, just plinking loads. I didn’t need a hunting rifle but this looked really fun to reload for and shoot. The 350 is kind of what I was expecting. I was expecting the Cascade to be good and it is. I almost bought something else in 350 and I’m glad I didn’t.

The new 308 is now in my safe. I have 38 cast bullet loads to shoot tomorrow and XX number of some SST’s to see how good it will group compared to other 308’s I’ve had.

Trigger, action, cerakote finish, stock are all great and feels like my other two Cascades. Sticker on the bottom of the stock was a pita to get off. Note to CVA: Put a friggin plastic sticker on instead of crappy paper ones that come off in a thousand pieces! Love your rifle, hate your stickers.
