CVA™ Optima V2 LR Thumbhole – .50 Cal Nitride/Cerakote™ Patriot Brown 28″ Barrel – PR2035NM

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.

Equipped with a 28” stainless steel Cerakote/Nitride fluted barrel, the CVA™ Optima V2 Long Range Rifle is easy to maneuver in the tree stand or in tight spots, and comfortable to carry in the mountains. The Optima LR comes standard with a DuraSight® DEAD-ON™ one-piece scope mount and CVA’s solid aluminum PalmSaver Ramrod. When compared to its competitors, the Optima LR includes many new features you won’t find anywhere else for a great price.

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, is used to treat the barrel and offers exceptional wear resistance, unparalleled corrosion resistance in a scratch-resistant, uniform black color. Already available in military applications, the nitride process hardens the outer layer of steel, making it both more durable and corrosion-resistant than chrome, which was previously the highest standard in bore toughening techniques. 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.
