CVA Paramount Pro - Everything you need to know | Long Range Muzzleloading with CVA

We catch up with Tony Smotherman from CVA and get the scoop on the new CVA Paramount Pro. The new Paramount Pro advances on CVA’s Paramount line hoping to bring advanced precision to modern muzzleloader hunters. Available in .50 and .45 caliber to appease big game rules of Colorado and Idaho, the Paramount Pro is also available with a scoped and open sight option to pass regulations in western states.

How much does the new CVA Paramount Pro Cost?

From the literature we picked up at the SHOT Show, actual retail price for the Paramount Pro is $1667.95, not a cheap rifle by any means, but CVA backed up this cost that a comparable custom muzzleloader runs between $1,000 and $1800+.
What is the range for the CVA Paramount Pro?

According to CVA, the Paramount Pro is sub-minute of angle at 400 yards direct from the factory. CVA is certainly going after the misconception that muzzleloaders, but modern and traditional are only good out to 100 yards with the new Paramount Pro.

What kind of primer does the CVA Paramount Pro Use?
In line with CVA’s other long-range muzzleloaders, they are using a large rifle primer as the ignition source.



What kind of bullet does the CVA Paramount Pro Use?
The CVA Paramount Pro uses a 280-grain power belt bullet, shooting it at 2400 feet per second.



How much powder does the Paramount Pro Use?
The powder charge of the Paramounts is 150 grains of Blackhorn 209 by volume, which is 105 by weight.


What’s the deal with that muzzle brake?
This is the first time CVA has included threaded barrels muzzle breaks in their rifles. With the 150 grains of powder, you can expect some recoil, but CVA claims the muzzle brake reduces recoil by 50%.
