The CVA™ Northwest Legal Optima™ V2 Muzzleloader shares the name of its popular predecessor. This second version gun has been re-designed with many new, innovative features. Modeled after CVA’s top-of-the-line Accura™ V2, the Optima™ V2 features the same trigger-guard with actuated breeching lever, same internal parts, and neutral center-of-gravity trigger.

This muzzleloader also features CVA’s Patent-Pending NW Quick Release Breech Plug (NWQRBP), which is easily removed with your fingers, and makes the rifle 100% legal to hunt with in all the Northwest States. The Optima V2’s 100% ambidextrous stock, and CrushZone recoil pad make this gun one of the most comfortable you will ever shoot. 

The CVA™ Optima V2 Northwest Rifle features a Nitride-treated 416 Stainless 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.

The NW CVA™ Optima V2 comes with more quality features than any other muzzleloading rifle in its price range. Equipped with a 26” fluted barrel, the Northwest Optima™ V2 is easy to maneuver in tree stands or in tight spots and is comfortable to carry in the mountains. The Optima™ V2 comes standard with Williams® Fiber Optic sights and CVA’s solid aluminum PalmSaver Ramrod. When compared to its competitors, the Optima™ V2 muzzleloader includes many features you won’t find anywhere else for the price.

IMPORTANT NOTE: This Northwest Legal muzzleloader uses a musket cap ignition system that is only required in Idaho and Oregon. If you are hunting in any other state we recommend purchasing a non-Northwest Legal muzzleloader. For the 209 primer version of this rifle, CLICK HERE.
