American Hunter Digital Associate Editor David Herman takes the new CVA Paramount Pro muzzleloader to the range. Sporting a muzzle brake to tame its stiff kick, the rifle propels its 50-caliber projectile to high enough velocities for a kill shot out beyond 300 yards. This is due in no small part to its Variflame adapter, which allows the shooter to use large-rifle primers for a quick and consistent ignition.
For more information on the Paramount Pro, which comes with a Grayboe Fiberglass Stock and a TriggerTech trigger, check out the video above, or visit cva.com. MSRP: $1667.95
National Hunting and Fishing Day, which is observed on the fourth Saturday of September each year (September 26 this year), is a day we should know one thing about: Hunters are America’s original conservationists.
This year’s standout hunting firearms reveal an industry focused on refining proven ideas. Manufacturers are increasingly embracing features once reserved for premium models and including extras that a few years ago were considered aftermarket additions. Whether you’re chasing game close to home or venturing deep into the backcountry, today’s new hunting guns arrive more capable than ever before.
The Department of the Interior recently announced the largest expansion of hunting and sport fishing opportunities in the history of the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service. The Service is also making more than 1,000 modifications to existing regulatory provisions, reducing complexity and making it easier for hunters and anglers to understand and comply with applicable rules.
