CVA CR3989G Cascade XT 6.5 PRC 2+1 24" Graphite Black Cerakote Fluted Threaded Barrel, Graphite Black Cerakote Picatinny Rail, Fixed OD Green w/Black Webbing Synthetic Stock, Right Hand
The CVA Cascade XT 6.5 PRC is a precision-focused hunting rifle built for shooters who demand accuracy without sacrifice. If you're looking for a 6.5 PRC rifle that handles like a tack driver whether you're shooting prone on the range or taking field shots in challenging terrain, the Cascade XT combines a heavy fluted barrel, recoil-taming muzzle brake, and tactical-style controls in a platform that won't leave you guessing at distance.
The heart of this rifle is its number 5 taper fluted barrel—24 inches of precision engineering that stabilizes the platform while its fluting helps manage heat during rapid follow-up shots. The fluted design also shaves weight without sacrificing the rigidity you need for long-range consistency. The barrel is threaded 5/8x24 and finished in Graphite Black Cerakote, ready to accept a suppressor or muzzle device if your hunting or range setup demands it.
Recoil management matters, especially in a 6.5 PRC, and the radial muzzle brake on this rifle meaningfully reduces felt recoil—making it genuinely pleasant to shoot from the bench or in the field, even through a heavier caliber's kick. The tactical-style bolt knob gives you faster, more confident bolt manipulation from any position, particularly useful when you're prone and speed counts. Up top, the Graphite Black Cerakote Picatinny rail provides a rock-solid platform for glass or red dot mounts, and the fixed OD Green synthetic stock with black webbing is durable, field-ready, and built for use rather than show.
Running a 2+1 capacity (two in the magazine, one chambered), this right-hand rifle tips the scales at 7.5 pounds—a genuine featherweight for a magnum platform, thanks in part to that intelligent fluting. Whether you're a long-range hunter, a precision rifle competitor, or someone who wants a serious 6.5 PRC rifle without the fuss or the price, the Cascade XT earns its place in the field.

Frequently Asked Questions
Is the Cascade XT 6.5 PRC suitable for long-range hunting?
Yes. The 24-inch fluted barrel, Picatinny rail for optics mounting, and precision-oriented design make this rifle well-suited to hunters pursuing game at distance. The 6.5 PRC cartridge is known for flat trajectory and excellent ballistics out to 500+ yards.
What muzzle devices can I attach to the threaded barrel?
The barrel is threaded 5/8x24, which is the standard thread pattern for many modern suppressors, brakes, and muzzle devices. You can attach any quality suppressor or muzzle device with that thread pitch.
Why is the barrel fluted, and what does that do?
The number 5 taper fluted barrel design provides several benefits: it improves rigidity for precision, helps dissipate heat during rapid firing without losing accuracy, and contributes to the rifle's lightweight profile (7.5 pounds overall). The flutes also enhance the overall balance of the platform.
Does the radial muzzle brake really reduce recoil?
Yes. The radial muzzle brake is designed to redirect gas and reduce felt recoil, making the 6.5 PRC more comfortable to shoot from the bench, from the field, and during follow-up shots compared to a rifle with no brake.
