CVA has released a new addition to their Paramount line of muzzleloaders known as the Paramount Pro. This new muzzleloader is an improvement on their already proven Paramount Long Range Muzzleloader in a handful of ways.
Like its predecessor, the Paramount Pro is constructed to handle “super-magnum” propellant charges –meaning: in excess of a 150 grain by volume equivalent of black powder. This allows you to reach the higher velocities that you need for taking game at 300 yards and farther.
The Paramount and Paramount Pro both come standard with the VariFlame breech plug, which provides a spring-loaded seal upon closing the bolt. This keeps all of the pressure in the barrel, not in your face.
Changes in the Paramount Pro
As mentioned, this is an upgraded model of the paramount. It has been tricked out with a TriggerTech Trigger, threaded for a paramount muzzle brake, features a nitrided Bergara barrel, Grayboe stock and comes with a quick deploy compact ramrod and Quake Claw flush cup sling.
The included ramrod is pretty slick. It collapses down like a tent stake and fits into a carry pouch. And of course, it is carbon fiber in construction.
In the Paramount Pro, where the magazine well is on a bolt action rifle, they have a storage box where you can neatly store your capper/decapper and Veriflame Caps.
The Paramount Pro comes in 2 great flavors of .45 and .50 caliber, where the .50 cal Colorado model comes with Williams peep sights that are required to legally hunt big game in many states where they outlaw the use of optics on muzzleloaders.
When you buy this amazing muzzleloader for the MSRP of $1667.95, you also get a supply of VeriFlames and ELR PowerBelt bullets.

Some of these comments are pretty entertaining. A rifle has to shoot patched round balls to be considered a true muzzleloader? Try telling that to all the Civil War soldiers that used conical bullets. I thought a “muzzle-loader” was a gun that you load from the muzzle.
And calling the Paramount a breech loader? Haha! I’m pretty sure every muzzleloader ever invented uses an ignition system located at the breech. Match locks, flint locks, cap locks, cap and ball pistols, 209 inlines, and even these new rifle-primer systems all ignite the powder charge from the breech. That doesn’t mean you load the powder and bullet from the breech also.
If you guys want to be purists that’s no problem. Most of us want to give ourselves whatever advantage we can within the laws of our home state. I use a high power rifle with a scope during rifle season, a compound bow during archery season, and the most accurate, flattest shooting muzzleloader I can find during muzzy season. This Paramount looks like a nice gun for states that allow modern muzzleloading technology.
Would enjoy more info on paramount pro. Sounds very good!
A “Muzzleloader” does not have a bolt like a bolt action rifle.
Dump the powder (30 to 200 grains) down the barrel, stuff the greased, cloth patched lead ball down the barrel, slip a percussion cap on the nipple that sits under the exposed hammer and you have a muzzle loader.
I did not realize my TC Hawkens was a Super Magnum!
These guys are just looking for a modern rifle they can shoot during Muzzleloader season!
That “worn-off” color pattern on the stock is a turn-off for me on a $1,600 rifle.
Exactly like so-called “drones” are well on their way to destroying the sport of flying model airplanes so-called “muzzle loaders” such as this totally modern breech-loading rifle will destroy actual muzzleloading. Guess maybe when you got away with slipping the breech-loading instead of muzzle-loading past the legislators and then “substitute black powder” too all bets were off. Change the names and definitions for those too shit lazy to hack an actual primitive weapon hunt in the name of greed and where is the line anymore? You people really can’t comprehend you’re just playing into the hands of the antihunting legislators, can you?
I bought the “regular” paramount and it is truly an amazingly accurate muzzleloader. It’s also basically limited to one load and one bullet to achieve that. Does this “pro” have any improvements in terms of a wider variety of bullets, charges etc that can be used and still achieve great results?
