The new APEX is, quite frankly, the best break-action, multi-barrel interchangeable rifle system on the market today. Just by shouldering the APEX, the serious shooter will notice a vast superiority to its competitors in both balance and fit. But the real test comes with the shooting. And it is in the shooting that two very important features make the APEX really shine. First, every APEX barrel is made by Bergara Barrels, which provide a level of accuracy performance that is unequaled by any muzzleloader on the market today due to its premium, custom quality. These Bergara Barrels, all made of the highest quality 416 grade stainless steel, have quickly become recognized as some of the most accurate production barrels in the world. And while many of the world's most highly regarded center-fire manufacturers use Bergara barrels on their guns, only CVA offers them in a muzzleloader.? It is these Bergara barrels that enable CVA to guarantee our APEX series muzzleloading rifles to be the "The Most Accurate Muzzleloader You've Ever Shot -- Or Your Money Back." Second, APEXs ambidextrous butt stock is designed specifically for scope shooting, with a height of comb that positions the shooter perfectly in line with the optics. The result is a rifle that shoulders and points as naturally as your favorite shotgun just like its an extension of your body. As for versatility, the APEX can be quickly and easily set up with a wide range of Bergara Barrels in 15 different muzzleloading and center-fire calibers. Plus, every APEX features CVAs?trigger guard actuated breeching mechanism, which is extremely simple to operate. And its innovative trigger design provides an incredibly clean, crisp pull that is adjustable from approximately 3 to 4.75 pounds. And for ease of cleaning, the APEX features the patent pending CVA QRBP (Quck Release Breach Plug); the only such system that really works after the gun is fired. Every APEX also includes a Quake Claw sling and a custom DuraSight Z-2 Alloy rail mount. 27" 416 Stainless Steel, Fluted, BERGARA BARREL 1:28 Twist Ambidextrous Synthetic Stock with Rubber Grip Panels CrushZone Recoil Pad DuraSight Rail Mount QRBP - Quick Release Breech Plug Reversible Hammer Spur Quake Claw Sling Adjustable Trigger 8 lbs.
