Description
The CVA Cascade LR Hunter 6.5 PRC pairs a modern short magnum with a rifle already set up for distance. A Bergara made heavy contour barrel, a 20 MOA rail, an adjustable comb and a radial brake are standard, all under a Smoked Bronze Cerakote finish.
CVA Cascade LR Hunter 6.5 PRC Barrel and Muzzle
The 24 in. barrel is a number 5 heavy contour made by Bergara and fluted to shave weight while adding surface area for cooling. A heavy contour is what keeps groups honest deep into a string, and on a cartridge that burns as much powder as 6.5 PRC that matters.
Rifling is a 1:8 twist, exactly what 6.5 PRC was designed around. The cartridge exists to drive long, high ballistic coefficient 140 to 156 grain bullets fast, and a slower twist would not stabilise them. The muzzle is threaded and carries a radial muzzle brake.
Stock, Rail and Trigger
The stock has a flat forend instead of the rounded shape of a traditional hunting stock. Flat sits far more stably on a pack, a rock, a tripod or shooting sticks, which is where nearly every long shot is actually taken. An adjustable cheek piece and removable length of pull spacers let you set the fit properly.
A 20 MOA Picatinny rail is fitted from the factory, and that built in elevation is what lets a normal hunting scope reach past six hundred yards without running out of internal travel. It is the most useful thing a maker can include on a rifle like this and most competitors at this price do not.
The trigger is a premium adjustable unit the owner sets between 2 and 4 lbs.

Why 6.5 PRC Suits a Long Range Rifle
6.5 PRC takes the bullets that made 6.5 Creedmoor popular and drives them roughly two hundred feet per second faster from a case that still fits a short magnum bolt face. That translates into a flatter trajectory, a narrower wind bracket and enough retained energy for elk sized game well past six hundred yards.
Recoil stays moderate enough that most shooters can spot their own impacts through the scope, particularly with the brake fitted, and factory ammunition is now widely available from Hornady, Federal and Browning.
Why Buyers Choose the CVA Cascade LR Hunter 6.5 PRC
The barrel is made by Bergara, which shares a parent company with CVA, so it comes off the same line as barrels fitted to rifles costing several times more. That is the main reason this rifle shoots the way owners report it does.
The remainder of the specification is what most makers leave off at this price. An adjustable comb, LOP spacers, a flat forend, a 20 MOA rail, a brake and an adjustable trigger are each something a serious shooter would otherwise pay to add later.
Who Should Buy It
The CVA Cascade LR Hunter 6.5 PRC suits western hunters who take long shots, shooters who want 6.5 PRC performance without a custom price, and anyone building a capable long range hunting rifle on a budget. Spend the savings on a scope with dependable elevation travel and the rifle will hold up its end.
