CVA OPTIMA 50 cal Muzzleloader Nitride Realtree Legacy KonusPro 3-9x40 BDC Ret

The CVA Optima 50 cal muzzleloader in Nitride with Realtree Legacy finish and paired KonusPro 3-9x40 BDC scope is a modern black powder rifle built for hunters who want real field adjustability without paying premium prices. CVA redesigned the Optima to sit between their entry-level and high-end models, meaning you get smart features—adjustable comb, customizable length of pull, quality barrel—that let you dial in a fit for your body and your hunting style, whether you're hunting dense timber or open country in late season.

The 26-inch fluted stainless steel barrel balances maneuverability in tight cover with the velocity and accuracy you need at distance. Nitride hardening protects the barrel and action from the elements, while the Realtree Legacy camo pattern works across most terrain. The semi-vertical grip and ambidextrous palm swell give you a secure, natural hold and crisp trigger control. You also get an upgraded Picatinny rail for optic mounting and an ambidextrous hammer spur, so lefties and righties operate the gun with equal ease.

The KonusPro 3-9x40 scope with BDC reticle comes mounted and ready to use—no need to source glass separately. Its magnification range handles both close-quarters woods hunting and longer-range open-field scenarios. For anyone serious about black powder hunting but unwilling to compromise on practical features or accuracy, the Optima delivers.
