The CVA Optima 50 caliber muzzleloader is a modern black powder rifle built for hunters who want serious field performance without the premium price tag. Built around a 26-inch stainless fluted barrel and drilled-and-tapped stainless steel receiver, the Optima splits the difference between entry-level and high-end CVA models—giving you enhanced features and adjustability that make it work for different body types, hunting conditions, and shooter preferences. Whether you're threading through dense timber or setting up for longer shots across open ground, this 50 cal delivers the balance of maneuverability and reach that serious muzzleloaders demand.
The fixed black synthetic stock incorporates a semi-vertical grip and ambidextrous palm swell for natural hand placement and repeatable trigger control. Built-in fiber optic sights come standard, giving you a bright sight picture in low light—and the drilled-and-tapped receiver means you can easily mount a scope if you prefer. The adjustable comb (with two included cheek risers of different heights) and adjustable length of pull (removable spacer) let you dial in the fit whether you're layering for late-season cold or setting up the rifle for a new shooter. That level of customization is rare in the muzzleloading world.
If you reload your own percussion caps and powder charges, or you're new to blackpowder hunting and want a reliable, accurate platform that grows with your skills and preferences, the Optima punches above its price class. The stainless fluted barrel isn't just good-looking—it sheds weight while maintaining rigidity and heat dissipation, and the stainless receiver resists corrosion in wet hunting conditions.
| Caliber | 50 |
| Barrel Length | 26 inches |

Yes. The receiver is drilled and tapped for scope mounts, so you can easily add a muzzleloader-appropriate scope. The fiber optic sights are included as standard, so you can use either open sights or optics depending on your hunting situation and preference.
Yes. The Optima includes an adjustable comb with two cheek risers (different heights) and an adjustable length of pull with a removable spacer. This makes it work for shooters of different sizes and lets you adapt the fit for cold-weather layers or to set it up properly for a new shooter.
The fluted design reduces weight while maintaining barrel rigidity and heat management. The stainless steel resists corrosion, which is important for blackpowder hunting where moisture exposure is common. The 26-inch length balances maneuverability in thick cover with the velocity and accuracy needed for longer-range shots.
The Optima is chambered in 50 caliber, the most widely used muzzleloading hunting caliber. It's effective for deer and elk at typical muzzleloading distances and accepts standard 50 cal bullets and percussion caps available at most outdoor retailers.
