CVA has announced its Endura series of muzzleloaders, the most advanced muzzleloader series CVA has ever built.

The CVA Endura series is the next generation of muzzleloading performance, purpose-built for hunters who demand long-range accuracy, modern design, and versatility in the field. Both the Endura LRH and Endura Pro are CVA’s first muzzleloaders rated for use with either Blackhorn 209 or specifically recommended modern smokeless rifle powders.

The Endura series is packed with features like a Tungsten-lined breech plug, and uses higher charges than standard muzzleloaders. This breech plug is what allows the gun to handle the additional pressures and higher burn rates. Endura muzzleloaders are outfitted with a magnetic bolt face (patent pending) which has five magnets to help retain the Variflame adapters, both before and after firing. These can either be placed on the bolt face or directly on the breech plug, as the large ejection port is specifically designed for enough room to place it in either place. Also, it is large enough to remove the Variflame with or without a magnetic extractor tool. The muzzleloader's Bergara Barrel is a Blackhorn 209 or smokeless capable barrel and is designed for use with either the recommended Blackhorn 209 loads or the recommended loads of specific modern smokeless rifle powders. This barrel is fluted for weight reduction and threaded (to easily attach CVA’s SP Muzzle Brake which is sold separately).

Some of the other key features include long-range stocks. The Endura LRH is equipped with a stock that is rigid, adjustable, and well balanced. The Endura Pro sports a Grayboe Eagle Pro Stock that balances long-range features with a hunter-friendly design. Both the Endura LRH and Endura Pro include Nitride and Cerakote treatments on the barreled actions. Both models include premium adjustable triggers that can be adjusted between 2 and 4 pounds. The Endura Pro is equipped with a TriggerTech trigger. Each model is drilled and tapped for open sights and comes with CVA’s accuracy & satisfaction guarantee.
