I dont really care for the Rubber Grip Panels on the V2 so that only leaves the QRBP's difference between the V1 and V2. I have 3 V1's and Blow Back is Minimal with it's Breech Plug so for me to get a New V2 just for the QRBP I passed as Im Very Happy with the way the V1 Shoots. But if you like the QRBP and Rubber Grip Panels than the V2 is a tad bit better than the V1. The Optima is a Less Expensive version but still comes with the New QRBP and the Bergara Barrel , the Barrel is also 1" shorter than that of the V1 and V2s's it's 26" long vs 27" on the V1 and V2. The feel and look of it is also different than that of the V1 and V2. If I had to chose between the 3 I'd still opt for the Original V1 as it can be had for a Great Price now if you can find one, it's about the same price as the Optima so for that reason I'd go with the V1 for the money, Then the V2 followed by the Optima. So the difference between the Accura V2 and the Optima is the V2 has the Rubber Grip Panels and a 1" longer Barrel, a different look and $150 more, the V2 also come with a Quake Sling, the Optima does'nt. The V1 and V2 have a unique design and some dont like the way they shoulder, the Optima has the standard look and feel of a MLer. So I guess you'd just have to Shoulder both and see what fits you best. (BP) |
Per CVA's web site they do not list the Optima as having a Bergara barrel, this may be the reason it is less expensive than the Accura,

I know I had to correct myself in the upper post as I too thought the Optima did'nt come with the Bergara Barrel. I looked at the Optima in a new book I have from Cabela's and in it's description it does say the Optima comes with the Bergara Barrel.
I think MD has a new Optima mabey he'll jump in...... (BP) |
If you must get a CVA then get the one that fits best. Personally I would wait a bit and look over the new Knights. or look at a Triumph.

It's darn confusing lol,there web site lists the optima,no mention of a bergara barrel and i didnt even see the elite model on it, on other sites they list the elite as having a bergara barrel lol. sorry for any confusion i may have caused, it appears CVA needs to update there site and clarify what rifles do indeed come equipped with bergara barrels.

If the Optima indeed does'nt come with the Bergara Barrel then I'd pass on one and opt for either ACCURA. Now I personally have nothng against Knight or TC, they make a very good MLer. But for the Price you get more MLer for the Money getting a CVA.
For me besides the cost the SS Bergara Barrel is what sold me on the ACCURA, the TC Triumph has a Standard Steel Barrel. For the money you spend on a TC Triumph it should at least come with a SS Barrel, if it did I might just own one. (BP) |
According to the CEO of the parent company that owns CVA all of there muzzleloader Barells are made in the Bergara factory. The only ones they stamp Bergara are the Button Rifled barells that go thru the honing and strict tolerance processes.
