    CVA Optima LR V2 picatinny rail

    Great point. Once I get the rail in, I will see how the high rings work as I have a set already. My 7mm and Muzzleloader are going to be using the same scope, so I will just see how the rings I have work with the new rail, and than go from there.

    CVA Optima LR V2 picatinny rail

    This is awesome thank you. I think this will work, I will just find extra high rings, I am pretty sure the Nightforce or Warne rings will clear with a zero MOA rail. Thanks 🙏

    CVA Optima LR V2 picatinny rail

    Yea I may try that. I thought most rails were model specific to line up with the set screws.

    CVA Optima LR V2 picatinny rail

    Looking for a 20 MOA rail for V2 LR. The only one I found was on Amazon, and said not being produced anymore. I would like the 20 MOA to help for clearance, as the new scope I am putting on is 56mm. Anybody have a part number or link? Or is this something I have to take to a gunsmith?

    AZ Public Land Desert Muley

    I had the ML hunt this year in this same unit and couldn’t quite get it done. Saw some awesome bucks and had an opportunity, just never came together. My hunting partner followed me up with the rifle rut hunt, and the Lord blessed us with a really nice desert buck. Hunting the desert is super...

    CVA Optima V2 LR

    Yes I understand that. I got a deal on it, it was new on display at Sportsman Warehouse, with no box or manual. Is the max load for the BH209 120gr by volume?

    CVA Optima V2 LR

    Is this able to shoot BH 209? I try to look it up, but it only brings up the Accura data?

    Paramount

    I don’t know on the powder yet, thats why I am trying to see if BH209 is temperature sensitive. The Arrowhead muzzleloaders I thought was shot the BH209? As of now I am shooting the CVA Optima V2, 120gr BH209, 290gr TEZ, and it shoots about 1 MOA out to 300yds. After that, I am out of energy...

    Paramount

    Would I be able to use the 300gr plus bullets with the Paramount. If so, what is the higher velocities attainable? I just want to see the energy and velocity I can get out of it, before I spend the money. I really like to long range shoot, and am looking at the Arrowhead and Gunwerks Rigs. Just...

    Paramount

    Looking into possibly buying a Paramount. A couple questions. Was researching a tad and was wandering if I would be able to use the Pittman bullets? What kind of speed are guys getting out of these with a healthy dose of powder? And last, is BH209 a temperature sensitive powder? Any feedback...

    CVA Paramount

    Looking into possibly buying a Paramount. A couple questions. Was researching a tad and was wandering if I would be able to use the Pittman bullets? Also when they say it can shoot up to 150gr BH 209, is that measured weight? What kind of speed are guys getting out of these with a healthy dose...

    Clean Bore/Dirty Bore

    If I can’t get this setup to shoot at the desired range I mentioned, I will definitely check out the other ones listed above as well. Thank you for your input.

    Clean Bore/Dirty Bore

    I never really worked with the 110gr load at past 100yds. Next trip I was planning on going to 300yds and seeing what the 120gr load would do. I figured if I could hold a good 3” group at 200yds, the gun/load may be capable of ethical hunting at 300yds. I verified velocity on 2 shots with 120gr...

    Clean Bore/Dirty Bore

    I am shooting the CVA V2 Nitride. Tried a new load today. 120gr BH209 with the 290gr TMZ. Shot 1.5 MOA at 200 yards, which I am happy with. It seems if I don’t clean the Bore after every shot, it wants to shoot more like 2.5 MOA, and wants to throw a “flyer”. I had good holds all morning. Is...

    Energy and Velocity Question

    Got it. Yes I will try 120 and see how it goes. Gun really seems to like 110 and so does my shoulder lol, so if 120 doesn’t pan out, I will just plan on shooting maybe out to 200yds or so. Thanks again for all your input, it really helps.

    Energy and Velocity Question

    Far Sighted that’s what my shooters app is saying as well. When I ran my numbers, I had .28 in for B.C by mistake. With the correct B.C of .24, I am at 1257fps velocity, and 1017ft lbs. Looks like I would need a little more velocity to ethically shoot at that range.

    Energy and Velocity Question

    NatureNick I was just confused on what you were trying to say and to who lol. Thanks for your input.

    Energy and Velocity Question

    So the B.C of a 300grain .338 Berger OTM is truly not .818? And all the guys around the world who are putting manufacturer rated B.C’s into their ballistic programs for elevation and windage corrections are just guessing? You have me super confused?
