While the OPTIMA V2 shares the name of its popular predecessor, the "Version 2" gun has a completely different design in many ways. Modeled after CVA's top-of-the-line ACCURA V2, the OPTIMA V2 features the same trigger-guard actuated breeching lever, internal parts, and "neutral center-of-gravity" trigger. Add in CVA's Quick Release Breech Plug (which is finger removable without any tool what-so-ever), 100% ambidextrous stock, and 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" 416 grade stainless steel barrel, the OPTIMA V2 is easy to maneuver in the tree stand and comfortable to carry in the mountains. And it comes standard with a DuraSight® DEAD-ON™ one-piece scope mount and CVA's solid aluminum PalmSaver Ramrod.
