Muzzleloaders
The Accura® Series provides a level of overall performance and ease-of-use unequaled by any other break-action muzzleloaders.
Accuracy has always been a given in CVA’s Accura series. All are equipped with premium, custom quality Bergara® barrels, which are widely recognized as the most accurate production muzzleloader barrels in the world.
The Accura LR-X and MR-X offer features never before seen in production muzzleloaders: quick-take-down design, a carbon-fiber collapsible loading rod that eliminates the accuracy-robbing ramrod hanging under the barrel, an adjustable comb for perfect eye-to-sight alignment, fast rifling twists for optimal performance with modern projectiles and propellants, and a threaded muzzle allowing the use of CVA’s NEW SP (Single-Port) Muzzle Brake for magnum charge shooting with minimal recoil.
The Accura® LR-X is our longer barreled Accura muzzleloader (LR stands for “Long Range”). It features a 30” Nitride treated stainless steel Bergara® barrel and is designed for the hunter who wants the extra velocity that longer barrels provide, making longer range shots a bit less difficult due to decreased drops. Perfect for the western plains or eastern bean fields.

Modeled after CVA’s long popular Accura®, the Optima® rifles feature the same trigger-guard actuated breeching lever, internal parts, and trigger.
The barrels are constructed of stainless steel and offered in either bare stainless or treated with our state-of-the-art Nitride® rust-proofing process.
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” or 28” barrel, the Optima® is both easy to maneuver in the tree stand and comfortable to carry in the mountains. It comes standard with a DuraSight® DEAD-ON™ one-piece scope mount or DuraSight fiber optic sights, and CVA’s solid aluminum PalmSaver™ ramrod.

Even after 20 or more shots, the QRBP comes out with just a twist of the fingers. Try that with any other “speed breech” system. Plus, the break-action breech opens easily with just a touch of the breeching button, which is located in front of the trigger guard.

IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDERS
BEWARE OF LOADING GIMMICKS
There’s a lot of bad information out there. Couple that with industry-wide changes in terminology, and it’s more important than ever for all muzzleloader users to understand how to safely load and shoot their muzzleloader per manufacturer guidelines. Read all instructions carefully.
NEVER USE SMOKELESS POWDER IN ANY MUZZLELOADER
Some manufacturers, including CVA, are now offering guns that are designed to shoot heavier than standard powder charges and/or projectiles. New shooters may become confused by the advertising for these rifles and attempt to use heavier charges and/or projectiles in older guns, which were not designed to handle the resulting high pressures. Even some experienced shooters have made this mistake. Some have also used what is known as a “duplex load,” which is a mixture of blackpowder and smokeless powder. Any percentage of smokeless powder in a duplex load may create pressures almost equal to pure smokeless charges and could cause a blackpowder gun to explode. Make no mistake about it — these loading practices can be incredibly dangerous! All shooters need to fully understand the recommended loads for each blackpowder gun they own. If you have any questions, call CVA Customer Service at 770-449-4687 or watch the Muzzleloading Basics video at cva.com. Be safe, not sorry.

VOLUNTARY RECALL NOTICE FOR CVA CROSSFIRE WITH BURNT BRONZE/NITRIDE BARREL (CR3804NM and CR3804NSC)
We have identified a concern related to the welds between the barrel and barrel lug on a limited number of CROSSFIRE rifles featuring Burnt Bronze Cerakote®/Nitride™ barrels. There is a possibility that dropping the firearm or repeated firings could compromise the weld, leading to a separation of the barrel from the lug during firing. Therefore, CVA is initiating a Voluntary Recall for all such firearms currently in the possession of consumers. If you own one of these firearms, please promptly contact CVA Customer Service at 770.449.4687 to obtain a Return Authorization and receive information regarding replacement options or a refund. This recall applies to CROSSFIRE rifles ONLY with Burnt Bronze Cerakote/Nitride-treated barrels and DOES NOT apply to standard stainless steel barreled firearms.
