Frequently Asked Questions

What makes the CVA Paramount HTR's ignition system unique for a muzzleloader?

The CVA Paramount HTR moves away from standard 209 primers, utilizing more efficient large rifle primers ignited by Blackhorn 209 powder. This is made possible by the Veraflame adapter, which securely holds the large rifle primer in the breech plug.

How does the CVA Paramount HTR achieve a free-floated barrel?

The rifle eliminates the traditional ramrod that typically contacts the barrel. Instead, it uses a collapsible carbon fiber rod and secures the barrel via an internal aluminum chassis, allowing the barrel to vibrate freely for improved accuracy.

What are the performance claims for the CVA Paramount HTR with PowerBelt ELR bullets?

The CVA Paramount HTR is claimed to offer near centerfire performance, pushing a 285-grain .45 caliber PowerBelt ELR bullet past 2500 feet per second, demonstrating significant velocity and precision for a muzzleloader.

What are the key technical specifications of the CVA Paramount HTR's barrel?

The rifle features a 26-inch barrel that is nitride treated over stainless steel for corrosion resistance. It is also threaded 3/4" x 20 TPI, allowing for the addition of a muzzle brake.
