I bought an Optima pistol 5 or 6 years ago and killed two deer with it but for some unknown reason I sold it.
When I saw they were available again I bought a new one. (Twice the price! Lesson learned).
The problem is, according to CVA, in 2022 they stopped putting the threaded insert on the end of the ram rod opposite the palm saver. You are supposed to use the open end as a bullet starter.
I have not shot it yet but I question if it is even long enough to seat a bullet?
The jag under the palm saver has a threaded hole that would allow the included extension jag to work but you would be pushing on that open end of the ram rod.
Anyone have a work around? Anyone with the same problem?
Anyway to get an insert for that open end?
Thanks!
