The CVA™ Optima V2 LR with a Nitride/Cerakote Barrel is the newest addition to CVA's family of premium muzzleloading rifles. The Long Range Optima™ features a 28" Cerakote™ Patriot Brown Nitride treated steel barrel. Sharing its name with its popular predecessor, the new Optima™ V2 has been redesigned with more quality features than any muzzleloader rifle in its price range.
Modeled after CVA's top-of-the-line Accura V2 LR, the Optima V2 LR features the same trigger-guard with actuated breeching lever, internal parts, and neutral center-of-gravity trigger. The Optima LR also features CVA's Quick-Release Breech Plug (QRBP), which is easily removed with your fingers, NO tools required. The Optima V2 LR's 100% ambidextrous stock, and CrushZone recoil pad makes this gun one of the most comfortable you will ever shoot.
The CVA™ Optima V2 LR Thumbhole Rifle features a Nitride/Cerakote treated 416 Steel barrel, making it the closest thing to a "corrosion-proof" muzzleloader that has ever been developed. The Nitride finish technology, known as Salt Bath Nitride, offers exceptional wear resistance, unparalleled corrosion resistance in a scratch-resistant, uniform black color. The nitride process hardens the outer layer of steel, making it both more durable and corrosion-resistant than chrome. Unlike exterior ceramic coatings, the nitride process penetrates both the inside and outside of the barrel, and can withstand thousands of shots. Best of all, Nitride is self-lubricating, thus eliminating the need to add oil to your rifle for an increase in muzzleloader velocities and greater ease in reloading follow-up shots.
