CVA Optima 50 Cal 26" Break-Open Muzzleloader - Black Nitride Fluted Barrel - OD Green Synthetic - Fiber Optic Sights

The CVA Optima is a purpose-built .50 caliber break-open muzzleloader designed around CVA's quick-release breech plug for fast, tool-free loading and cleaning. This configuration (PR2048N) pairs a 26" Black Nitride fluted barrel with a matching Black Nitride drilled and tapped steel receiver, giving hunters a corrosion-resistant, weather-ready rifle that shrugs off the elements on long days in the field.

The fluted barrel trims weight without sacrificing rigidity and helps the rifle balance nicely on a packed-in hunt, while the 1:28" twist rate is well matched to the broad spectrum of saboted .50 caliber projectiles and conical bullets common to muzzleloader hunting. At 7.20 lbs and an overall length of 41", the Optima carries comfortably from a tree stand or on a spot-and-stalk without feeling bulky.

A fixed OD Green synthetic stock keeps the rifle lightweight, weatherproof, and ready for cold, wet, or rough terrain. CVA's CrushZone recoil pad tames the report and helps the Optima settle quickly for follow-up shots. The receiver is drilled and tapped, making it easy to mount a scope or other optic down the road, while this model ships with a fiber optic front sight paired with an adjustable rear sight so it can head straight to the range with no extra gear required.

Whether chasing late-season whitetails in states that still honor a muzzleloader-only season or simply wanting a reliable, accurate .50 caliber break-open for paper and steel, the CVA Optima delivers a thoughtful blend of modern materials, fast handling, and traditional simplicity.
