Optima Elite Officially Dead

[laswamprat]

Just got a response from Mark at CVA(see below).  The OE has officially been replaced by the Apex.  Also, Mark has a new email address.  It is now mark@bpiguns.com .

Marc,

The Optima Elite has officially been replaced with the new Apex.  However, barrel support will continue for quite some time into the future.  There are quite a good number of guns still available as well.  Your dealer should be able to order one through his normal distributor or buying group. 

Regards,

Mark

Just saw one of these at the local Gander for $250.  Thought about it, but wasn't sure of the barrel availability.  Seemed like a good deal.

Lots of barrels available.
