Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the CVA Endura muzzleloaders resistant to rust?

The CVA Endura muzzleloaders feature a nitride treatment applied to the barrel, both internally within the bore and externally under the Cerakote finish. This treatment significantly enhances corrosion resistance, preventing the pitting and rust often associated with traditional muzzleloader fouling.

What is the VeraFlame ignition system in the CVA Endura rifles?

The VeraFlame system is a proprietary ignition method for muzzleloaders. It uses a small module that accepts a large rifle primer, which is then inserted into the breech plug. This system is designed for reliable ignition and is easily primed using the magnetic bolt face.

Can the CVA Endura muzzleloaders fire smokeless powder?

Yes, the CVA Endura models are engineered to safely fire select smokeless powders, such as Vihtavuori N120. This capability expands their versatility beyond traditional black powder substitutes like Blackhorn 209, offering cleaner shooting and potentially different performance characteristics.

How does the CVA Endura Pro differ from the LRH model?

The primary difference is weight. The Endura Pro, featuring a Greyboe Eagle Pro stock, weighs 8.75 pounds, while the Endura LRH weighs 10.25 pounds. This 1.5-pound difference makes the Pro model more advantageous for hunters who need to cover long distances on foot.
