Boyd's Spike Camp laminated thumb hole stock will fit original Paramount with slight enlargement of barrel channel. However requires more extensive removal and shaping to achieve proper bottom metal fit. Changing stock, scope and rings resulted a 2 pound lighter rig. Lighter rig means more...

I will email him about my interest in 45 cal version. Perhaps I'm trying to make the original Paramount into something it wasn't meant to be, but would like it to be under 10# total weight with scope and everything. Have ordered Boyds 2.5# stock I believe will fit and swapped to lighter scope...

Thanks for the information. Would really like to shoot full bore. As you suggested may just use ELR's. Will have to conduct some water jug or other expansion testing at 2200 fps to get more information before deciding. Do you recall any test results being posted on the boards for ELR's at...

No MI 8 Also been trying to find bullets other than ELR's to shoot and agree the 84 gr 209 range charge is sufficient for my purposes. Have used ELR'S, Fury 275 at .452 and Fury 265 STB at .453. Problem is my barrel diameter is such that the only one that loads with consistent pressure...

Anyone know if a Magpul Hunter 700 stock would be a drop in replacement for factory Paramount green stock? Asking since I've read that the action is supposedly the same as a Rem 700 SA. Wonder if after market Rem 700 SA trigger replacements would also work?

If Mookie isn't interested in your quick release rings I would be. Please send me a PM with brand, etc. Thanks.

Thanks for all the suggestions. I decided to go with the Burris Veracity 3-15X50 for the Paramount. During the research I also came across and purchased a Vortex Strike Eagle 4-24X50 at a close-out price. It has mixed reviews and is a discontinued model so taking my chances. Figure if it...

Anybody have any experience or opinions on Vortex Strike Eagle scopes in particular the 4-24 power model? It's apparently being discontinued and seeing some attractive prices. Thanks!

What I finally settled on was something a friend recommended called "gaffer's tape". It's not expensive, comes in flat black, various widths, adheres well to degreased barrel and leaves no tape residue when removed. Got some in 3/4" width and ran strip front to back sight. Only issue is the...

Looking to buy under $500 long range scope with approximately 20X being top magnification for a Paramount. Hoping Black Friday may bring some great deals. Based on past years experience any recommendations for which sellers I should be sure to check, or any particular brands that have been deals...

Thank you for help!

I'm interested in the swap for a Rem Ultimate. Sorry, don't know how to PM.

Second the recommendation for Vortex Diamondback HP 3 X 12 as good quality scope with a versatile power range.

Believe it depends on what you mean by shooting for a group. As replies indicate generally no contact for bench rest type shooting and light forearm contact for hunting style shooting.

Not as much as use to since age related shoulder issues but still do some archery hunting with crossbow. Sure wish more states would make it easier to use crossbows in archery season. We need all the hunters we can get regardless of equipment to maintainhunting as we know it. Seems our numbers...

Enjoyed your post. Agree with positive outlook on life.

Thank you all for the comments. Forum members were a big help in offering advice and things worked out .

Used CVA Accura V2 with rear peep and fiber optic front sight. Weighed 62 grain BH209 load and 50 caliber full bore 300 grain Thor bullet. Hit slightly back from front shoulder and it pulverized the lungs. Distance approximately 60 yards in heavy brush CRP field. Dropped at shot, made couple...

After all the tinkering around and help from forum members getting my rig set up, I was fortunate to take this eastern Colorado buck. Thanks again for all the responses to my questions.
