Full description and what we offer
BPI Outdoors, Inc. is the parent company behind some of the shooting industry's most respected brands. CVA (Connecticut Valley Arms) started in 1971 specializing in traditional sidelock muzzleloaders and rifle kits, but has evolved into a powerhouse manufacturer of modern in-line muzzleloaders and centerfire rifles.
"CVA has been America's #1 selling muzzleloader brand for over a decade"
All CVA firearms are designed and assembled at a state-of-the-art production facility in Bergara, northern Spain—a region with centuries of gunmaking heritage. The company manufactures its own barrels at Bergara Barrels, ensuring complete quality control from component to finished rifle. This vertical integration allows CVA to maintain consistent accuracy and reliability across all price points.
Muzzleloaders: - ACCURA V2 & MR series — Guaranteed to be the most accurate muzzleloaders you've shot, or CVA refunds your purchase - OPTIMA V2 — High-end features at moderate prices - WOLF — Entry-level model with upgraded features - PARAMOUNT — Long-range performance platform - ENDURA — Advanced long-range system with VariFlame® ignition - APEX — Interchangeable: shoots as muzzleloader OR centerfire in 16 different calibers
Centerfire Rifles: - SCOUT V2 — Single-shot rifle redefining what affordable centerfire precision looks like - Bergara Rifles — Premium bolt-action centerfire rifles
PowerBelt ammunition is America's #1 muzzleloading bullet, originally designed by black powder enthusiasts to create the perfect projectile.
DuraSight sighting systems were created in 2005 by gunsmiths frustrated with cheap aluminum mounts causing accuracy failures. After replacing aluminum with stronger mounts, accuracy problems disappeared.

CVA Accessories: - Muzzle brakes - Gun cases - Replacement stocks - Cleaning kits and tools - Logo apparel
