The CVA™ Northwest Legal Optima™ 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™, the Optima™ 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's 100% ambidextrous stock, and CrushZone recoil pad make this gun one of the most comfortable you will ever shoot.

The NW CVA™ Optima comes with more quality features than any other muzzleloading rifle in its price range. Equipped with a 26” stainless steel fluted barrel, the Northwest Optima™ is easy to maneuver in tree stands or in tight spots and is comfortable to carry in the mountains. The Optima™ comes standard with Williams™ Fiber Optic sights and CVA’s solid aluminum PalmSaver Ramrod. When compared to its competitors, the Optima™ 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.
