CVA optima V2 vs CVA wolf

Looking at getting a muzzleloader and figured I would ask the aldeer experts opinion. Of the two listed in the subject section which would you go with?

The Optima is the nicer of the two. The wolf used to be their intro gun. I have an Optima, and it's a fine shooter. And it's an older model.

Go to your Walmart, they have them on clearance now. I had a Optima, good gun.

I’ve got an older Optima that I like.

I have a Optima with a thumb hole stock. It is a tack driver at 100 yds.

Thanks for the input guys

If you haven't bought a CVA yet, they are doing a closeout blowout on the CVA website for a lot of models.

Dunno how the prices compare to the stores.

I ended up getting a Vortek StrikerFire Backcountry last week. I just couldn’t pass up the clearance sale they had at midway on this one.

Nice, let us know how it shoots!

I definitely will

Try Blackhorn 209 powder + Hornady SST-ML bullets with this gun. I had great accuracy with lighter powder loads, not so much near the max powder loads.

Looking back in my notes.....

68.2gr BY WEIGHT Blackhorn powder + 250gr SST-ML + Win209 shotgun primer gave ~1830fps in a Traditions Vortek Strikerfire with holes touching in 3-shot groups @100 yards.

By volume, that powder load looked like about 100- 105 grains.

With BDC ML reticle, that gets you to about 310 yards sighed in at 100. But bullet energy gets questionable past 200 yards.

Thanks!

Dang you, Clem! I ordered one and used a 15% off (they have a 20% off coupon also but I screwed up) coupon code for $262.57 delivered to my door. Heck of a deal! I'll now retire my old Remington 700ML

What's the 20% off code WC?

Here ya go...

Got my CVA Optima in today. Gonna top it off with a Redfield Revolution Accu point. Can’t wait to try it out

I think you're gonna be happy with it.

Nice, when I got mine I ordered a blackhorn breech plug and that's all it has shot. It really liked 110 grains volume blackhorn, 250 grain SST with a harvester crush rib sabot. Let us know how it does!
