Will the Optima elite barrels work on the Optima V2 ML frame??

I dont think so. The Optima Elite was a pre 2009 and had a steel frame.

Optima V2 and Scout V2 are sorta similar. Frames look a lot alike and they both use the same stocks. The Scout V2 45/70 makes a dandy fast twist 45cal ML/SML but the barrel is a little short due to the removable muzzle brake.

I was doubtful too, but got an email into CVA to be sure. Will let all know when I do. Thanks!

CVA says they are different systems and won't fit. I kinda/sorta thought that, confusing since they have the same name, but now I know. Probably saved me some $$$ too...

CVA Hunter 45/70 25" barrel...$250
Scout V2 45/70 23" barrel + brake...$350-380ish
Conversion (209 primer) with parts around $200

That is about as cheap as it gets for a new 45cal 1-20 break action. Carlos at Ed's Gunshop in Vass NC might have some Apex frames/barrels left.
