CVA PR2047N Optima 50 Cal 26" Black Nitride Fluted Barrel, Black Nitride Drilled & Tapped Steel Receiver, Fixed Realtree Legacy Synthetic Stock, Fiber Optic Sights

The CVA Optima 50 caliber muzzleloader is a midrange black powder rifle designed for hunters who want serious accuracy and field versatility without paying premium prices. This 26-inch fluted barrel model gives you the maneuverability of a shorter gun while maintaining the ballistic performance you need for longer shots—whether you're working thick timber or open country. The black nitride finish on both barrel and receiver resists corrosion in wet conditions, and the drilled and tapped steel receiver is ready for optics mounting right out of the box.

CVA engineered the Optima around shooter comfort and adaptability. The synthetic stock in Realtree Legacy camo accepts an adjustable comb with two included cheek risers of different heights, letting you dial in a proper sight picture whether you're shooting upright or prone. The adjustable length of pull—controlled by a removable spacer—means the gun fits whether you're wearing early-season gear, cold-weather layers, or handing it to a younger or smaller hunter. The semi-vertical grip and ambidextrous palm swell give you a more natural hold and better control on the trigger, and the ambidextrous hammer spur works equally well for left and right-handed shooters.

The rifle ships with fixed fiber optic sights for quick target acquisition in low light, and the Picatinny rail makes scope mounting straightforward. This is a working muzzleloader for hunters who demand accuracy and reliability in the field without unnecessary complexity or cost.

Frequently Asked Questions

Can I mount a scope on the CVA Optima 50 caliber?

Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounting, and the rifle includes a Picatinny rail for straightforward optics installation. The fixed fiber optic sights work well for hunting, but the gun is designed to accept modern scopes and red dots.

Does the adjustable comb and length of pull really make a difference in fit?

Yes. The adjustable comb with two cheek risers lets you match the sight plane to your eye and shooting position. The adjustable length of pull (via removable spacer) accommodates different body sizes, layered clothing, and multiple shooters—all without needing a gunsmith.

Is the CVA Optima good for both left and right-handed hunters?

The ambidextrous hammer spur and palm swell are designed for both left and right-handed operation. If you're left-handed, you should verify ejection and safety operation direction before hunting, as not all features may be fully mirrored.

What is the black nitride finish and why does it matter?

Black nitride is a surface hardening treatment that resists rust and corrosion better than standard bluing, making it well-suited for hunting in wet or humid conditions. It's a durable field finish that holds up to moisture exposure.
