Key Features
- Bergara Barrel: This 26-inch barrel is hammer-forged from 416 stainless steel. Why it matters: Bergara barrels are known for sub-MOA accuracy out of the box, so you spend less time sighting in and more time putting lead on target.
- QRBP Trigger: The Quick Release Breech Plug system lets you remove the breech plug without tools. Why it matters: Cleaning your muzzleloader after a day at the range or in the field takes minutes, not hours. No more fighting with a stuck plug.
- CrushZone Recoil Pad: CVA’s own design absorbs felt recoil noticeably better than standard pads. Why it matters: Even with heavy magnum loads, your shoulder won’t be sore after a box of shells. Keeps you shooting longer.
- DuraSorb Stock: The textured synthetic stock in Tungsten/ODG provides a secure grip even in wet or gloved hands. Why it matters: No slip, no miss. You stay on target when it counts.
- Mounting Rail: Comes with a 3/8-inch dovetail rail for easy scope mounting. Why it matters: You can mount your favorite optic without buying extra adapters. Saves you money and hassle.
Who It’s For
This rifle is built for the hunter who wants one gun that can handle everything from whitetail to elk. It’s also a solid pick for the recreational shooter who likes ringing steel at 200 yards with a muzzleloader. First-time black powder buyers will appreciate the easy cleaning and simple break-action design.
Pros and Cons
- Pro: Sub-MOA accuracy right out of the box with quality sabots.
- Pro: Tool-less breech plug removal makes cleaning a breeze.
- Pro: Lightweight at 7.2 lbs, easy to carry all day in the woods.
- Con: The thumbhole stock may not fit shooters with smaller hands perfectly. Some shooters find the grip angle a bit aggressive. It’s a trade-off for the ergonomic cheek weld.

FAQ
What is the barrel twist rate on the CVA ACCURA MR-X .50cal?
The barrel has a 1:28 twist rate, which is standard for .50 caliber muzzleloaders. It stabilizes both conical bullets and sabots very well, making it versatile for different hunting loads.
Can I use 209 primers with this muzzleloader?
Yes, the CVA ACCURA MR-X is compatible with 209 primers. It uses a standard breech plug that accepts 209 primers. Just make sure you use the correct breech plug for your primer type—some shooters prefer #11 caps for traditional loads.
Is the stock adjustable for length of pull?
No, the DuraSorb stock is fixed. But the CrushZone recoil pad adds about 1 inch of effective length of pull. If you need a shorter pull, you can swap the pad for a thinner one. The cheek rest is fixed but provides a solid weld for most shooters.
Does this rifle come with a scope or rings?
It comes with a 3/8-inch dovetail rail but no scope or rings. You’ll need to buy those separately. I’d recommend a 3-9×40 scope for most hunting situations. The rail is standard, so any dovetail rings will fit.
How do I clean the breech plug without tools?
The QRBP (Quick Release Breech Plug) has a finger tab. Just pull it straight out after opening the action. No wrench needed. Clean it with a brush and solvent, then reinstall. This is one of the easiest muzzleloaders to clean on the market.
