The CVA Accura MR-X in black is a .50 caliber inline muzzleloader with a 26-inch barrel, 48 inches overall and a weight of 6.5 pounds. Ignition is hammer fired, one shot at a time, with a manual safety. Factory iron sights pair a fiber optic front with an adjustable rear, the receiver is ready for a scope, and the muzzle is threaded for muzzleloader accessories.

Connecticut's muzzleloader deer season opens December 9, the day after the shotgun and rifle season closes on December 8, and it requires .45 caliber or larger, which this .50 meets. Muzzleloaders are also one of only two firearm types allowed on state land for deer, alongside shotguns, so this rifle covers both the private-land hunter and the one working state ground. Sunday deer hunting stays private land only. The 26-inch barrel keeps it handy in a stand, and the scope-ready receiver suits a hunter who wants more than irons for a December shot.
