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
