Default Dont call me stupid!

But will a CVA Optima Pro (28") Barrel fit on a regular CVA Optima (26")?

A very good question. One that I might add, I have no idea of the answer. So you can put me in your same catagory if you like. Drop CVA an email and ask them if you want a definate answer. The big thing I would guess are the location of the locking lugs, but on some rifles barrel thickness comes into play as well. Better safe then sorry and an email takes so little time.

I haved asked that question before a long time ago. If I remember right it should fit just fine. The only difference in the regular Optima and the Optima Pro is the length of the barrel. The Optima Elite is a different thing altogether. Do confirm this for yourself but that's what I remember them telling me.

There is NO SUCH THING as a stupid question when it comes to any safety aspect of a firearm. If you don't know DON'T GUESS!
Good call killadoe. I wish more people would take your route. It would give the anti's a lot less ammunition to use on usand prevent someone from being hurt or worst?

The reason I was asking though, is because I was playing with the idea of getting a longer barrel. I dont know though..

Yes, the pro barrel will fit on a standard optima frame. The Elite barrels are a different story. They will only fitthe Elite frame.
