The CVA Cascade XT 6.5 PRC rifle (brand part no. CR3989G) is a precision-oriented bolt-action built by Connecticut Valley Arms for shooters chasing flat trajectories and heavy-for-caliber bullets at extended range. The heavier number-5 taper fluted barrel adds stability and lets you fire multiple shots without losing accuracy to barrel heat, while the factory radial muzzle brake keeps recoil comfortable even with 6.5 PRC’s larger case. A tactical-style bolt knob gives faster, more secure bolt manipulation from field positions like prone, and the threaded muzzle leaves room to add a suppressor later. Built on the same platform hunters trust for deer and elk, this Cascade XT is equally at home on a long-range range day or a backcountry hunt.
