      The Optima is awesome i got mine as a Christman present . I boresighted it & took it to finish it up & it only took 5 shots & i was traring up the bullet holes . I would rather have a CVA than ANY other muzzleloader made .

        Comments about CVA Optima® 209 Magnum .50 Break-Action Muzzleloader, Black:

        Great rifle for the money! 1 to 2 inch groups cinsistently at 100 yards using Hornady SST .50 cal over 100gr 777 powder...clean or dirty barrel. The ease of cleaning as compared to the old bolt action muzzleloaders that became vogue in the early to mid 90's has greatly improved. Simple hand release breech plug easily screws off and has minimal moving parts for cleaning that takes me 1/5th the time it used to. First deer hunt with it I took a doe at 100 yds through the woods with one shot which I got on video. Bottom line, you will not regret this purchase with it's accuracy and ease of cleaning. I put a Nikon BDC Muzzleloader scope on it which I haven't needed to adjust in the year since I bought it and sighted it in. A cheap scope will make your gun shoot wide groups then you blame your gun. Don't make this mistake.

          Nice rifle. Disappointed to find out that it is not American made. I really thought I was buying an American made product. The gun shoots very well and holds a tight pattern.
