CVA CR3993G Cascade XT 35 Whelen 3+1 22" 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 in 35 Whelen is a precision rifle built for hunters who demand accuracy without compromise—whether you're working the range or pursuing game in the field. This right-hand bolt-action rifle combines a fluted, threaded barrel with CVA's tactical-style bolt knob and integrated muzzle brake, creating a platform that handles the recoil of a magnum cartridge while staying stable and shootable. The 35 Whelen delivers serious power in a caliber that's earned respect among hunters pursuing big game, and the Cascade XT's design lets you shoot multiple rounds accurately without waiting for barrel cool-down.

The rifle's heavier #5 taper fluted barrel does double duty: it improves balance and reduces harmonic vibration for tighter groups, while the fluting reduces overall weight compared to a solid profile. The threaded muzzle (5/8x24) accepts common brakes and suppressors, giving you flexibility to tune recoil and sound to your setup. A radial muzzle brake comes standard, substantially taming the 35 Whelen's kick and making the gun more pleasant to shoot from prone or other field positions where you need control. The tactical bolt knob gives you better leverage for fast bolt cycling—useful when you need to follow up quickly or when shooting from awkward positions.

Factory-equipped with an OD green synthetic stock with black webbing and Picatinny rail, the Cascade XT arrives ready to mount glass and get to work. The fixed stock keeps things simple and durable in rough conditions. With a 3+1 magazine capacity, this is a rifle that respects tradition while incorporating the ergonomics and reliability modern hunters expect.

Frequently Asked Questions

What muzzle devices will work on the threaded barrel?

The barrel is threaded 5/8x24, a standard muzzle thread pattern. The rifle comes equipped with a radial muzzle brake. Additional suppressors, brakes, or flash hiders in 5/8x24 will fit, though you'll want to verify compatibility and use appropriate thread-locking compound during installation.

Is the Cascade XT suitable for long-range hunting?

The Cascade XT is built with precision features—a fluted barrel that reduces heat and improves stability, a Picatinny rail for optic mounting, and the 35 Whelen caliber is capable at distance. The rifle's accuracy-focused design works well for field hunting and range work. For specific long-range capability, performance depends on ammunition selection, your optic, and your shooting distance.

Does this rifle come with an optic or scope?

No, the rifle ships with the Picatinny rail but without glass. You'll need to add your own scope or red dot to the rail.

What does the fluted barrel do?

The fluted design reduces barrel weight and heat buildup while improving balance. This helps you shoot multiple accurate shots without waiting for excessive barrel cooling, and makes the rifle more pleasant to handle in the field.
