OPTIMA V2 rifles feature the same trigger-guard actuated breeching lever, internal parts, and trigger. All OPTIMA V2 barrels are constructed of 416 grade stainless steel, and are offered in either the standard stainless or with our state-of-the-art Nitride rust-proofing process. Add in CVA's Quick-Release Breech Plug (which is finger removable), 100% ambidextrous stock, and a CrushZone recoil pad, and you've got a gun with more quality features than any 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.
