CVA is proud to announce the launch of the CVA XP and XP-SB Muzzleloaders, a bold evolution of the trusted Optima™ platform. Designed with modern ergonomics and modularity in mind, the XP series blends proven muzzleloader performance with contemporary features that enhance comfort, fit, and adaptability for shooters of all sizes.
At the heart of the XP and XP-SB is a modernized Optima™ design that delivers the reliability hunters expect from CVA—now refined with a more tactical, customizable profile. A newly integrated pistol grip provides improved control and shooting comfort, while the buffer tube stock design opens the door to enhanced modularity and personalization. Shooters can fine-tune their setup with bolt-on cheek risers, ensuring proper eye-to-scope alignment for faster target acquisition and improved accuracy. The buffer tube system also allows for length-of-pull (LOP) adjustment, making the XP platform an excellent fit for youth, adults, and anyone seeking a truly tailored shooting experience.
The XP lineup is available in two configurations to meet different hunting needs:
- XP-SB with an 18-inch barrel for a compact, maneuverable setup, great for blinds and treestand hunting
- XP with a 26-inch barrel for those who prefer a longer, traditional profile
Both models are chambered in .50 caliber, delivering the dependable performance muzzleloader hunters rely on season after season. With the XP and XP-SB, CVA continues to push the muzzleloader category forward—combining tradition, innovation, and adaptability into one modern hunting platform. MSRP $649
