Sorry had to edit because of the sound quality new ip
My paramount kicks like a girl compared to my old Optima at max charge. I have had some 20 round sessions with the paramount wearing a t-shirt with no extra padding and really didn't feel anything the next day, and I have stripped over 1lb of weight off of the paramount when I changed the stock so its even lighter than normal. Go shoot a 6 lb Optima with a 300 gr projectile over a 120G wt charge. 1. you will want to quit after the first shot. 2. you will be crying by the 5th shot 3. You will feel it for days afterward. I would say a 7 lb rifle with a 100gr wt charge would probably be similar in recoil to the Paramount.
Oh gees. Yes I meant vol not wt. I was careful to make sure I noted which one and then completely botched it. And yes 209. Good catch Busta.I hope you meant 120 grains and 100 grains by VOLUME, not WEIGHT?
I assume you are addressing Blackhorn 209 powder?
Those would be gross overloads in an Optima, as well as other rifles, and the former also in the Paramount as well.
We just need to be careful what we post, whether it be Volume or Weight.
Edited my first post to correct wt/vol.My paramount kicks like a girl compared to my old Optima at max charge. I have had some 20 round sessions with the paramount wearing a t-shirt with no extra padding and really didn't feel anything the next day, and I have stripped over 1lb of weight off of the paramount when I changed the stock so its even lighter than normal. Go shoot a 6 lb Optima with a 300 gr projectile over a 120G vol charge. 1. you will want to quit after the first shot. 2. you will be crying by the 5th shot 3. You will feel it for days afterward. I would say a 7 lb rifle with a 100gr vol charge would probably be similar in recoil to the Paramount.
Here are some pics of the bolt with the small knob installed. It is much shorter and better to carry.
I got a paramount too ,I weight 150 lbs, me and those Magnum charges are just not happening, I shoot alot of heavy recoil rifles that gun with the Magnum charge knocks the you-know-what out of you, that rifle has spent the deer season in the closet, it sure looks cool though and it'll shoot a hole,,I hope they offer the gun with the more traditional open grip stock like the Remington ultimate,now that deer season is over I'll drag that thing out and shoot it some more but it's only going to be with a hundred or a hundred and ten grains of blackhorn,,, I'm just going to sneek this in I would sure love to see a bolt action rifle made in an ultra-light manner,, with the hankins or in Arrowhead system dedicated to a hundred grains of blackhorn I want that rifle to weigh 7.5 lb with a scope ready to hunt,I wanted to handle and weigh as much as a CVA Mr Acura and I want an open grip straight comb, 50 or 45 Cal I don't even care,, fast twist, I'll buy two or three no one's making the gun I want,,, and yes I'm going to get a muzzle brake for the Paramount,,,sometimes I wonder if gun designers actually have people that shoot their rifles before they start producing them
I've heard that those Hunters make great sml conversions, too.Good morning to everyone,, I just wanted to say this I think the Paramount is a great rifle,I've had two Remington ultimate muzzleloaders, i ended up pulling the barrels off them and building rimage smokeless guns out of them,, which I sure don't regret,the Paramount that I have is clean shooting there's absolutely zero leakage in the primers,, and is very accurate the most accurate factory muzzleloader I've had so far,,I've become a big fan of CVA I guess with all the issues 10 years ago not many people would have said that,, I had a CVA Hunter, there cheapest rifle in 45 70, 2 years ago , it shot half inch or less with every factory ammo .,,if I had friends coming over to shoot it was the first rifle I let them shoot just so I could back off and watch,, yes I have a mean streak
it had thread locker so I am guessing it took some heat to get it off. I needed Luke to make a tweak to my bolt so I asked him to remove it while he had it in his shop.Was this a simple unscrew the tactical knob, and thread on the round knob? Or did they have some sort of thread locker on there?
