Just wanted to drop a note that I recently picked up a CVA Optima in-line muzzelloader in 50 cal. What a great gun! I had been looking at the different in-lines for a while now and decided on the break open Optima. Well as luck would have it a friend had ordered one in for someone who did not end up taking it. Needless to say after being offered it for cost it came home with me.
I picked it up Sat. morning, sighted it in that afternoon and took a nice big doe at 5PM that day for the opener of PA's early muzzelloader season. I really like the convenience of the break open design. The accuracy of this rifle seems to be excellent. I haven't shot groups at 100 yards yet but at 50 it stacks bullet on top of bullet. I am very pleased with it to say the least. I plan on mounting a scope on it and taking it out for another doe later this week.
