The CVA Optima 50 caliber muzzleloader is a modern single-shot rifle built for hunters who want reliability and ease of use without the learning curve of traditional cap-and-ball systems. This 50 cal rifle pairs a 26-inch black nitride barrel with a drilled and tapped stainless steel receiver, giving you a durable platform that's ready to mount optics and handle serious hunting duty. The adjustable comb on the OD green synthetic stock lets you dial in your cheek weld for comfortable, repeatable shooting—whether you're hunting from a stand or working through thick woods.
Black powder hunting is experiencing a real renaissance, and for good reason: extended seasons, less competition afield, and the satisfaction of a clean kill with a traditional setup. The Optima 50 splits the difference between heritage and convenience. The 50 caliber delivers the power hunters expect for deer and elk-sized game, while modern construction and an adjustable stock mean you're not fighting your rifle to shoot accurately.
The nitride barrel resists corrosion better than traditional blued steel—important when you're dealing with black powder residue and the variable weather of hunting season. The drilled and tapped receiver opens up optic options, so you can mount a scope built for muzzleloaders or run iron sights if that's your preference. The OD green synthetic furniture is rugged, weather-resistant, and won't swell or warp like wood.

Yes. The CVA Optima 50 is a single-shot muzzleloader—exactly what black powder hunting seasons are designed for. Regulations vary by state and region, so confirm your local seasons and any manufacturer requirements before the hunt.
The adjustable comb lets you raise or lower your cheek position for proper eye-to-scope or iron-sight alignment, which helps shooters of different builds achieve a comfortable, repeatable hold. This is especially valuable if you're shooting with optics.
Black nitride provides better corrosion resistance than traditional blued finishes, which is important when you're shooting black powder. The finish helps protect the barrel from rust and fouling buildup over a season of use and cleaning cycles.
