CVA Adds Another .45 to ACCURA V2 Rifle Line
CVA has announced that in Spring 2011 it will begin shipping the standard stocked version its popular ACCURA V2 muzzleloading rifle in .45 caliber. MSRP for the new Accura V2 SS/Camo .45 will be $529.95.
“We have had great success with the .45 in our APEX rifles and in the ACCURA V2 Thumbhole, and many dealers and consumers were requesting that we offer the standard stocked ACCURA V2 in the .45 as well,” said Dudley McGarity, CEO of Blackpowder Products, Inc., owner of the CVA brand. “Shooters are starting to realize that the .45 provides superior ballistics to the .50. When it comes to long range performance, the .45’s higher velocities and longer, more stable bullets provide accuracy and knockdown power that the .50 just can’t match,” McGarity further explained.
McGarity went on to say that his company has seen a big resurgence in the popularity of the .45 caliber with serious muzzleloader hunters. He credits some of this trend to PowerBelt Bullets. “Many of the technically oriented shooters have realized that when they use a PowerBelt .45 the bullet diameter is just as large as a saboted .50 caliber projectile. There is no loss of knockdown power when a 275 to 300 grain PowerBelt .45 is used, especially when you factor in the increased velocities,” he said.
The ACCURA V2 is CVA’s most feature packed muzzleloader, boasting a Trigger Guard Actuated Breeching Action, Bergara Barrel®, Neutral Center of Gravity Trigger, Soft-Touch stock coating and Rubber Grip Panels. And last, but certainly not least, the ACCURA V2 features CVA’s patent pending Quick Release Breech Plug (QRBP) – the first truly finger removable breech plug system. According to the Company’s internal tests (which are featured on www.CVA.com as a video presentation), the QRBP allows the user to shoot multiple shots and still remove the breech plug with no tools whatsoever. “None of our competitors systems can make this claim,” McGarity stated.

Bergara Barrels® for CVA APEX™ Rifle Available Direct at CVA.com
CVA has announced that beginning in January 2011, Bergara Barrels for its popular APEX interchangeable barrel rifle system will be sold exclusively through its CVA website – www.CVA.com.
This novel approach to the sale of after-market barrels for the APEX will enhance the appeal of the APEX to consumers and retailers alike, according to Dudley McGarity, CEO of Blackpowder Products, Inc., owner of both the CVA and Bergara Barrel brands.
“The APEX is a relatively new entrant to the switch barrel market,” explains McGarity. “Due to its short history, there are just not enough APEX frames in the hands of consumers to justify our dealers stocking of a full line of APEX center-fire and muzzleloading barrels, and this has led to owner’s being frustrated in their efforts to find additional barrels for their APEX rifles.” By selling the barrels direct to consumers rather than through CVA’s dealer base, McGarity says that CVA will be able to offer APEX owners both ready availability and significantly lower prices than before. “The intended result,” McGarity concluded, “is a more efficient and economical system for distributing APEX after-market barrels that will make the complete APEX rifles even easier for our dealers to sell versus its main competitor, the T/C Encore -- as they will be a much better long term value.”
An insert will be included in the box with each APEX rifle that gives the prices and ordering instructions for the APEX barrels. CVA’s direct purchase prices for the APEX barrels will be $219.95 for center-fire barrels and $195.95 for muzzleloading barrels.

CVA Adds DuraSight® Dead-On™ Mount as Standard Equipment on 2011 Break-Action Muzzleloaders
For 2011 all CVA break action muzzleloader models – ACCURA V2, OPTIMA, and WOLF -- will be offered with a DuraSight “Dead On” Integral Mount as standard equipment. “The inclusion of this state-of-the-art scope mount will make our Accura V2, Optima, and Wolf models an even greater value to consumers than they were in 2010,” stated Dudley McGarity, CEO of Blackpowder Products, Inc., owner of both the CVA and DuraSight brands.
The Dead-On mount, which was first introduced by DuraSight in 2010, is a one-piece integral mount design utilizing their proprietary Z2 Alloy material. This DuraSight model was dubbed the “Dead-On” in reference to its accuracy producing potential – and was designed specifically for CVA’s new line of break-action rifles. The design of the mount eliminates one of the key weaknesses of the traditional systems -- that of separate bases and rings – by integrating the base and lower ring half into one unit. The Dead-On design essentially connects the two bases, combining the entire lower portion of the mount into just one unit.
McGarity further explained CVA’s decision to include the DuraSight Dead-On Mount as standard equipment, stating that “The dealer cost for the “M” version gun (model numbers have an “M” suffix – for “Mount”) is only about $5 more than the open-sight equipped model. Since 95% of shooters put scopes on their guns, CVA will be giving them a valuable feature – a quality scope mount -- that they need, instead of a worthless feature – open sights -- that they’ll just throw away.” The DuraSight Dead-On Mount has a suggested retail price of $39.95 when sold separately.

PowerBelt Introduces New AeroLite™ Bullet
PowerBelt Bullets has announced the introduction of a new muzzleloading bullet called the AeroLite. The AeroLite is a premium PowerBelt designed specifically for use with standard 100 grain loads. According to Michael McMichael, the founder of PowerBelt Bullets, “The design of the AeroLite allows it to provide many of the key benefits of a “magnum charge” – such as flatter trajectory and devastating knock-down power -- without the shoulder crushing recoil.”
The AeroLite’s shape is noticeably longer and more aerodynamic than other PowerBelts of similar weight. This longer length is made possible by the massive hollow-point cavity that is filled by an over-sized polycarbonate point. By removing heavy lead from the bullet core and replacing it with the lighter weight tip material, the bullet itself can then be elongated for greater stability and, therefore, greater accuracy, without increasing the overall weight -- thus retaining the benefits of speedy velocities and flatter trajectories.
McMichael went on to explain that the bullet itself is “tuned” to provide optimal expansion on deer-sized game at the velocities produced by a standard 100 grain charge – 1800 FPS and below. Therefore, the AeroLite is not an “all around” bullet for multiple species and for various propellant charges. Rather it is a “specialty” bullet that is designed to: 1.) provide the best accuracy of any PowerBelt, 2.) deliver maximum killing performance on the most hunted big game animals in North America – deer and elk, and 3.) accomplish both without the punishing recoil of a magnum charge.
PowerBelt AeroLites are available in 250 (AC1550AT) and 300 (AC1552AT) grain weights. MSRP for the 250 is $29.95 and the 300 is $31.95. Both are sold in packs of 15.

CVA Adds .44 Magnum to SCOUT™ Rifle Line
CVA has announced that in Spring 2011 it will begin shipping its popular SCOUT™ COMPACT rifle in the .44 Magnum caliber.
“After the amazing success that we had with the .35 Whelen in Mississippi, we felt that we could duplicate this success in the ‘pistol caliber states,’ such as Indiana,” said Dudley McGarity, CEO of Blackpowder Products, Inc., owner of the CVA brand.
As for specific features, the SCOUT sports an ergonomically designed synthetic stock, CrushZone recoil pad, and easy-to-use breaching mechanism. SCOUT COMPACT rifles are available with barrels constructed of either blued carbon steel or 416 stainless steel – both featuring barrel fluting. These models are sold with a DuraSight® Dead-On™ Integral Scope Mount as standard equipment. The gun weighs in at a mere 5.8 lbs.
The SCOUT rifle is also available .243, 7mm-08, .270, .30-06, and .35 Whelen. The shorter SCOUT COMPACT is sold in .243 and 7mm-08. Both the CVA SCOUT and SCOUT COMPACT have a suggested retail price starting at under $300.

CVA Adds 7mm-08 to SCOUT™ COMPACT Line
CVA has announced that in Spring 2011 it will begin shipping its popular SCOUT™ COMPACT rifle in the 7mm-08 caliber. The SCOUT COMPACT was previously offered in .243 only.
“After the amazing success that we had with the .243 in 2010, adding the 7mm-08 was an obvious expansion opportunity for this model,” says Dudley McGarity, CEO of Blackpowder Products, Inc., owner of the CVA brand. “While the .243 SCOUT COMPACT is very popular as a youth gun, we’ve had a lot of adults buying the gun as well. Consumers of all ages are finding great utility in using this short and lightweight gun as a truck/boat/ATV gun or just as a compact brush gun. The 7mm-08 offering will give this market the choice to buy a caliber with a bit more punch than the .243,” McGarity concluded.
As for specific features, the SCOUT COMPACT sports an ergonomically designed synthetic stock, CrushZone recoil pad, and easy-to-use breaching mechanism. SCOUT COMPACT rifles are available with barrels constructed of either blued carbon steel or 416 stainless steel – both featuring barrel fluting. These models are offered with either a DuraSight® Dead-On™ Integral Scope Mount or open sights as standard equipment. The gun weighs in at a mere 5.5 lbs.
The SCOUT rifle is also available in a standard length configuration for adults who want a full-size single shot rifle. In this “standard version” of the SCOUT, calibers of .243, 7mm-08, .270, .30-06, .35 Whelen and .44 Magnum are offered. CVA SCOUT rifles have a suggested retail price starting at under $300.
