I have one in 350 legend. I purchased the Ruger American 350 legend Go Wild, which is Ruger's upgraded rifle. I then bought the CVA after that. I can tell you that the CVA is a far more superior rifle in every way. My 3 shot group with Hornady American Whitetail was .70" at 100 yards. I'm going to try the Hornady FTX but, very satisfied with the accuracy currently. Accuracy, stock, trigger, again a superior rifle in every way over my Ruger for the price point.
I'm interested in seeing if the barrel does break in and starts grouping better. Bergara barrels are button rifled and they claim that no break in is needed. From the reviews I've seen, Bergara is having some accuracy issues. Not all, but more than they should.
They are doing a 15 day buy back if not 1MOA or better. I have seen 6-7PRC’s doing sub 1/2MOA. May be the barrel needed a good seasoning after you cleaned it from the factory shots. I don’t know. I always shoot half a dozing or more after cleaning before I verifying POI shifts.
if you are lapping both rings at the same time (taking off metal in each equally) how does that change the alignment bars to meet tip to tip? Nothing has changed if you lap both rings the same.
Thanks for the feedback. This lapping kit seems to work just fine for normal hunting rifles. For a PRS rifle or similar the shooter may want to invest in line-bored rings for a more accurate setup. This process may not be the system for you, but if you're in the market for precision rings I suggest looking at Area 419.
I find the XT and VH stock to be the same as far as rigidity, which is not the best, but definitely not the worst. I can flex the stock to touch the barrel by squeezing the barrel and stock. However, the free float space is very generous and I don't see an issue when trying to preload a bipod under normal pressure. I have stiffened Ruger American stocks by adding a liquid epoxy clear mixture to the forearm (just enough to fill the voids. This does add weight and it will not be as stiff and aluminum bedding, but improved over factory. If I do this to a CVA I will post a video.
Sorry your having that issue. My factory mag has not had an issue feeding. I did purchase an extra mag that is still in the package. I think I should open that one and try feeding rounds through it. I’ll report back later.
That's a very true statement, however it has worked with most people. Ideally, you want the shooter in a good cheek-weld position to set the scope. Great feedback, thank you.
Best video to learn how mount a Scope. Thank you so much!!
Thank you, I'll have more scope mounting videos soon.

Micah, do you mean American Whitetail?
They are really great rifles
Great step by step info! Greatly appreciated 🙏. God bless you Sir!
Thank you sir!
CVA! Lovin it!
Great rifles. I have the XT in 7mm rem mag. Awesome video. Subscribing!!
Good rifle for anyone not planning on upgrading.
I have two of these and probably will get another
Great video, thank you!
Thank you sir

This one has tightened up some, but not as tight as my 6.5PRC in the same model.

Its a very nice all purpose rifle. My Xbolt is nice, but when I see nifty rifles like this it tempts me to add another.

great information, what grit did you use for lapping?
Not sure if the grit size. It came with the wheeler lapping kit.
Looks like a great weapon.
So far it hasn’t disappointed.
I’m interested in getting one CVA Cascade. Can you give me the discount code?

How’s stock rigidity on the XT?

@@6mileoutdoors thanks! Thats my main concern. I’m already about 90% convinced with the XT, just needed that last piece to put me over the edge.
Can you get this rifle in the 28 nozler or the 7mm- 08 ?
It is available in 28 nosier. But not 7mm-08.
Currently the web sight shows the XT model being offered in 6.5CM, 308WIN, 450BM, 350Ledend, 6.5PRC, 7mmPRC, 300WM, and 7mm Rem Mag.
I don't see any 7mm-08 or any NOSLER calibers offered in the standard Cascade or the Cascade XT.
Is the discount code still available? If so, how can I get the discount code?
On the CVA website use code BVFRIENDS
Do you have a web sight, would like to have a gun stock dipped.
Email me at 6MileOutdoors@gmail.com
Have one in 6.5 PRC. Mags are not worth a shit. Constant feeding problems even with replacement mags. Rounds wont even stay in the Mags.
Sorry your having that issue. My factory mag has not had an issue feeding. I did purchase an extra mag that is still in the package. I think I should open that one and try feeding rounds through it. I’ll report back later.
I had the same problem, called, they sent me a new one at no charge. New mag has no feeding issues.
308 shells?
That’s redneck for bullets
In7mm mag
Yes, but not currently in stock.
How do I get the 15% discount?

Its an ok rifle. The bolt/feeding isnt as good as my xpr. Both in 350 legend.
Just got an email yesterday that said they have it in 7 PRC now.That will be my next rifle.
Possibly my next purchase as well.
@@6mileoutdoors👍
Yes, I am looking at that too!
@@wickedwagens I have one in 300 win mag and it’s awesome.
That little oil doesn’t hurt a thing that is all bs. The first shot takes it all out.
Hey Tony, thanks for the feedback. You’re probably right, I’m just trying to remove any variables.
shouldn't your buddy be present to set up the proper eye relief. What's good for you may very well be wrong for him.
That's a very true statement, however it has worked with most people. Ideally, you want the shooter in a good cheek-weld position to set the scope. Great feedback, thank you.
I was enjoying your video until you said Hornaday. It's Hornady. Horn-a-dee.
You're right! Hope you enjoyed rest of it.
