American Rifleman's Joe Kurtenbach stopped by the CVA booth to check out the company's first bolt-gun. Debuting as a short-action only, the Cascade will come chambered in 6.5 Creedmoor, 7 mm-08 Rem. and .308 Win. With a 70 degree bolt throw, a four-plus-one capacity via detachable magazine, and a Savage 110 AccuTrigger scope mount for broader compatibility, the Cascade is a hunt-ready rifle.
