Modeled after CVA's top-of-the-line ACCURAA(R) V2, OPTIMA V2 rifles feature the same trigger-guard actuated breeching lever, internal parts, and trigger. All Optima V2 rifle models featured in the CVA catalog and on the CVA website feature stainless steel or Nitride-treated stainless steel barrels. Add in CVA's Quick-Release Breech Plug (which is finger removable), 100% ambidextrous stock, and a CrushZoneA(R) recoil pad, and you've got a gun with more quality features than other muzzleloading rifle in its price range. Equipped with a 26" barrel, the OPTIMA V2 is easy to maneuver in the treestand and comfortable to carry in the mountains. And it comes standard with a DuraSightA(R) DEAD-ON(TM) one-piece scope mount, and CVA's solid aluminum PalmSaver ramrod.
