Muzzleloaders
PARAMOUNT ™ Series rifles are unlike any other muzzleloading rifles on the market.
These guns were specifically developed and designed to handle “super-magnum” propellant charges of 112 grains (.45 caliber) or 119 grains (.50 caliber) by weight of Blackhorn® 209 – and thus provides muzzle velocities comparable to centerfire rifles.
The Paramount™ Pro V2 is our lightest and most versatile Paramount ever. The custom designed Grayboe™ stock is 8 ounces lighter than its predecessor in .45 caliber, and 2 ounces lighter in .50 caliber. It features an adjustable cheek riser that can be set high for use with the most powerful optics or low for use with the new Micro-Adjust Williams® peep sight. The Micro-Adjust Williams® peep sight is standard equipment on the .50 caliber, and the .45 caliber is drilled and tapped to accept it. Removable stock spacers allow for perfect LOP adjustment while the Limbsaver ® recoil pad substantially reduces felt recoil. The Paramount Pro V2 is upgraded with a premium TriggerTech® fully adjustable trigger and a Cerakote® barrel finish that perfectly complements the stock’s hand painted camo.
Starting at $1920
PR3514N: Camo/Cerakote® FDE + Nitride
PR3521N: With Micro-Adjust Rear Peep & Western Front Globe sight
Incredibly fast muzzle velocity is what made the Paramount™ .45 the talk of the industry when it was first introduced in 2019, but speed is worth nothing without the accuracy to put those shots where they belong. And with its nitride treated, stainless steel Bergara® barrel, combined with its internal chassis and fully adjustable stock, the Paramount does just that. Paired with PowerBelt’s 285 grain ELR bullets, which were specially designed for the Paramount, this rifle can produce incredibly tight groups at ranges previously thought unreachable for a muzzleloader.

Accuracy has always been a given in CVA’s Accura series. All are equipped with premium custom quality Bergara® barrels, which are widely recognized as the most accurate production muzzleloader barrels in the world.
The Accura LR-X and MR-X offer features never before seen in production muzzleloaders: quick-take-down design, a carbon-fiber collapsible loading rod that eliminates the accuracy robbing ramrod hanging under the barrel, an adjustable comb for perfect eye-to-sight alignment, fast rifling twists for optimal performance with modern projectiles and propellants, and a threaded muzzle allowing the use of CVA’s Paramount Muzzle Brake for magnum charge shooting with minimal recoil. Plus, each Accura X-Treme features SoftTouch finish for easy gripping, even in the harshest weather conditions.
The Accura® LR-X is our longer barreled Accura muzzleloader (LR stands for “Long Range”). It features a 30” Nitride treated stainless steel Bergara barrel and is designed for the hunter who wants the extra velocity that longer barrels provide, making longer range shots a bit less difficult due to decreased drops. Perfect for the western plains or eastern bean fields.

Centerfire Rifles
The Cascade™ is CVA’s first ever bolt-action rifle. Long the leader in both muzzleloading and single-shot centerfires, CVA has applied its 50 years of experience into making what we feel to be the best bolt-action centerfire rifles on the market.
All Cascade rifles feature a 4140 carbon steel barrel finished in Cerakote®. Muzzles are threaded and ready for either a muzzle brake or suppressor. The Cascade bolt design incorporates a 70° throw for smooth and fast operation, as well as generous scope clearance.
The barreled action fits perfectly into our own fiberglass reinforced stock, which features a SoftTouch finish for a sure grip, dual front swivel studs and a full inch of length-of-pull adjustment. Cascade rifles are offered in three different configurations.
Designed for hunters seeking precision at extended distances without compromising affordability. Borrowing features from long-range target competition rifles, the CASCADE LRH gives hunters the added confidence to make kill shots on big game at 300 yards and beyond. Starting at $900

IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDERS
BEWARE OF LOADING GIMMICKS
There’s a lot of bad information out there. Couple that with industry-wide changes in terminology, and it’s more important than ever for all muzzleloader users to understand how to safely load and shoot their muzzleloader per manufacturer guidelines. Read all instructions carefully.
NEVER USE SMOKELESS POWDER IN ANY MUZZLELOADER
Some manufacturers, including CVA, are now offering guns that are designed to shoot heavier than standard powder charges and/or projectiles. New shooters may become confused by the advertising for these rifles and attempt to use heavier charges and/or projectiles in older guns, which were not designed to handle the resulting high pressures. Even some experienced shooters have made this mistake. Some have also used what is known as a “duplex load,” which is a mixture of blackpowder and smokeless powder. Any percentage of smokeless powder in a duplex load may create pressures almost equal to pure smokeless charges and could cause a blackpowder gun to explode. Make no mistake about it — these loading practices can be incredibly dangerous! All shooters need to fully understand the recommended loads for each blackpowder gun they own. If you have any questions, call CVA Customer Service at 770449-4687 or watch the Muzzleloading Basics video at cva.com. Be safe, not sorry.

VOLUNTARY RECALL REMINDER
In August of 1997 CVA implemented a Voluntary Recall of In-Line rifle models with serial numbers ending in -95 or -96. If you have a CVA In-Line model with such a serial number do not use or allow anyone else to use the gun. If you have one of these rifles, call CVA immediately at 770.449.4687 for complete details and a free replacement gun.

Any claims relating to the above described Voluntary Recall should be addressed to Connecticut Valley Arms, Inc. not Blackpowder Products, Inc. Blackpowder Products, Inc. assumes no liability for any products manufactured prior to January 1, 1998.
VOLUNTARY RECALL NOTICE FOR CVA CROSSFIRE WITH BURNT BRONZE/NITRIDE BARREL (CR3804NM and CR3804NSC)
We have identified a concern related to the welds between the barrel and barrel lug on a limited number of CROSSFIRE rifles featuring Burnt Bronze Cerakote/Nitride barrels. There is a possibility that dropping the firearm or repeated firings could compromise the weld, leading to a separation of the barrel from the lug during firing. Therefore, CVA is initiating a Voluntary Recall for all such firearms currently in the possession of consumers. If you own one of these firearms, please promptly contact CVA Customer Service at 1-770-449-4687 to obtain a Return Authorization and receive information regarding replacement options or a refund. This recall applies to CROSSFIRE rifles ONLY with Burnt Bronze Cerakote/Nitride-treated barrels and DOES NOT apply to standard stainless steel barreled firearms.
