Optima V2 .50 Caliber Muzzleloader Kit Stainless Steel Barrel Black Stock With KonusPro 3-9x40 Scope
by CVA
Product Overview:
Modeled after CVA’s top-of-the-line ACCURA V2, OPTIMA V2 rifles feature the same trigger-guard actuated breeching lever, internal parts, and trigger. OPTIMA V2 barrels are constructed of 416 grade stainless steel. Add in CVA’s Quick-Release Breech Plug (which is finger removable), 100% ambidextrous stock, and a CrushZone recoil pad, and you’ve got a gun with more quality features than any other muzzleloading rifle in its price range.
Equipped with a 26" barrel, the OPTIMA V2 is easy to maneuver in the tree stand and comfortable to carry through the hills. It comes with a DuraSight DEAD-ON one-piece scope mount, KonusPro 3-9x40 Scope, and a CVA Ramrod.
NOTE:
Some assembly required - Scope will need mounting.

CVA Ramrod Design Change - Female Thread Update
The new CVA PalmSaver ramrods (as of 2022) no longer have a female threaded end on the loading end. The ramrods included with the muzzleloaders also no longer come with an extension jag, although this may still stated in the original muzzleloader manual.
This is an intentional redesign from CVA, as the female threads had the tendency to 'pull' out the bullet after it was seated, but only in the event that you weren't using a loading jag. Due to this, they have changed it to have a 'built-in' loading contour that allows you to push down muzzleloader bullets including the new PowerBelt ELR bullets, without the 'threads' pulling the bullet back out.
There is a female thread on the 'male' PalmSaver attachment. However, this also means that you will no longer able to install a loading jag and the PalmSaver attachment at the same time.
The bottom line, the new CVA ramrod change is not a defect as this design change was intentional. All of the CVA ramrods going forward, for all rifle models, will no longer have threads on both ends.
