Awesome muzzle loading pistol

I bought a camo version of the optima pistol at a local sporting goods store about 15 years ago. I love this gun! Loaded heavy your approaching 454 Casull territory. Or load it light and have fun. My current load is 100 grains of BH209 with a 300 grain hornady sst sabot. Hold on tight is all I can say and off of a good rest like a sand bag 100 yard shots are more than possible. In a blind deer hunting its extremely manuverable. Im currently using a bog pod deathgrip and its perfect. However wear your ear pro if your in a blind with the short barrel. Buy one and dont look back! Doooooo it!

I own a CVA Accura Rifle and always like to hunt with some kind of pistol to challenge myself with does. IA has a very long muzzleloader season so adding this pistol was something I should have done a long time ago. I will get to hunt with it shortly, but after zeroing it with a red dot I am right on target at 50 yards with less than a one inch group on bullseye. If you like the challenge of hunting with a pistol this one excellent. As a side note I am using Platinum Powerbelts, 270gr. I use the same with my Accura rifle. Powerbelts seem to work best with my CVA muzzleloaders.

I ordered this an had it within days super accurate can't say enough good about it would recommend to anyone.

I was concerned when I purchased this pistol that I would have to modify it to add a bipod, swivel studs, sights, etc. However, it comes with a swivel stud that replaces the forend screw & another that screws right into the butt of the pistol grip. I was easily able to attach a Harris bipod to the forend swivel & still put a sling on it to carry across my back or chest. I wanted open sights instead of a scope so it was easy to remove the rail & install the Optima pistol sights. I decided to swap out the rear sight & the ghost ring fiber optic fits perfectly on the ramp. If you order this pistol be sure to get the case with it. The case has a lot of extra room so even with a bipod & sling attached it doesn't fit too tight & the side compartment has room for all the extras. Everything went on in a few minutes without any modification. I'm very impressed with this pistol so far & it's a darn good price for the quality you get. The customer service on the phone was exceptional & Noah helped answer all my questions & was a great help. I wish I could attach a picture with this review because the gun sure looks good. Thanks
