Modeled after CVA's top-of-the-line ACCURA 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 CrushZone recoil pad, and you've got a gun with more quality features than any other muzzleloading rifle in its price range.
