Each year, our Muzzle-Loaders.com team travels to SHOT Show in Las Vegas to check out all of the new muzzleloader offerings. This year, there were several new muzzleloaders to note, as well as some welcome refreshments to some current models.
New for 2020, the Federal® FireStick™ has garnered a lot of buzz in the muzzleloading and shooting industry. Our team was at SHOT Show to see the new products first hand and to find out how this new technology will impact our sport. Federal® FireStick™ is a completely new take on muzzleloading!
Introduced at the 2017 SHOT Show, the CVA® Optima V2 Long Range™ Muzzleloader features a 30" Nitride coated barrel. The longer barrel provides the Optima LR™ with increased muzzle velocities and greater accuracy at longer distances.
Introduced at the 2017 SHOT Show, the CVA™ Wolf Nitride Muzzleloader features 24" Nitride coated barrel which was previously only available on higher priced rifles. When budget is taken into consideration, the CVA Wolf is a clear leader, however, we are jazzed about the fact that CVA added a Wolf Nitride for 2017.
