The EGW CVA V2 Muzzleloader Picatinny Rail gives modern shooters a solid foundation for mounting optics on their inline muzzleloaders. This 0 MOA base transforms a CVA V2 platform into a modern scope-ready setup without the guesswork of aftermarket adapters. Whether you're hunting whitetail with a scoped muzzleloader or testing loads at the range, a quality rail mount is where accuracy starts.
EGW's one-piece design keeps things simple and strong. Full-length Picatinny cross slots run the entire length of the rail, so you can position your scope rings exactly where they need to be for proper eye relief and balance. That matters when you're settling behind glass in the field or dialing in at distance. The rail sits at approximately 0.4" high, a moderate height that clears most factory iron sights—useful if you want to keep your backup sights functional or unobstructed.
Weight matters on a muzzleloader, and EGW engineered this rail with a center channel that shaves mass without sacrificing rigidity. You're looking at 2–3 ounces average, so it won't turn your rifle into a lead pipe. The Picatinny base accepts standard Picatinny or Weaver scope rings, giving you flexibility when choosing rings and optics that fit your budget and preference.

Frequently Asked Questions
What scope rings will work with this CVA V2 muzzleloader rail?
The EGW rail accepts any standard Picatinny or Weaver scope rings. That gives you plenty of options—everything from budget-friendly sets to premium match-grade rings.
Will this rail block my factory iron sights?
In many cases, no. The center channel design of this rail helps preserve clearance for factory iron sights, though fit depends on your specific CVA V2 model and sight configuration. We recommend measuring your setup or consulting CVA documentation to confirm compatibility with your sights.
Is 0 MOA the right choice for my muzzleloader?
A 0 MOA mount is paralleled to the bore, so your scope sits level with the rifle's natural aim axis. It's the straightforward choice for most hunters and range shooters. You'll dial in your specific load at the range, just as you would with any scoped rifle.
How much does the EGW CVA V2 rail weigh?
The rail averages 2–3 ounces, engineered with a center channel to minimize weight without compromising the solid, one-piece construction.
