The PARAMOUNT produces velocities in excess of 2200 FPS but, this is worth nothing without the accuracy to put those shots where they belong. For this, like all premium CVA's, the PARAMOUNT features a custom quality, free-floating Bergara barrel in Nitride treated stainless steel. Paired with PowerBelts ELR bullets, which were specially designed for the PARAMOUNT, this barrel can produce incredibly tight groups at ranges previously thought unreachable for a muzzleloader.
