[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1700265, member: 33046"] From the different posts around that I've followed, the only issues being reported are all related to the variflame ignition system. I can not, in my wildest dreams, believe CVA doesn't have some of "their" people following the many muzzleloader forums, and why they went with the variflame ignition is beyond me. I just don't think that the manufacturers realize that the #1 complaint from owners is the leaking breech plug issues, or gas cutting for that matter. Remington is another manufacturer that absolutely knows there's a fix for the RUM, yet refuses to correct the issue. Now maybe it still may be a contract issue, but when any contract runs out with UF, they would be very wise to use the Gen2 system, which by the way, Remington is very aware of. I have not seen a post from a Paramount owner that didn't show the rifle to be accurate. I did see one person who was consistently maintaining MOA at 300yds, and that is great shooting for a "new to the market" muzzleloader. I know Luke is working on a permeant fix and last I heard it was a couple weeks out, barring any major issues. I have 100% confidence that when Luke finishes his system, it'll be a MAJOR improvement for the Paramount. Once that fix is made, I would really like to see one of the Paramount rifles shooting at Friendship and challenging Knight. We need the competition with production rifles. IMO...…… a different full bore bullet will end up being the choice for [U]"accuracy serious"[/U] shooters down the road. There's just so many .45cal bullets that are extremely accurate from 45cal rifles. ASG, Fury, Pittman, Parker etc. I've never been a CVA fan, just never cared for the rifles. However...… I'm hoping CVA gets the Paramount issues corrected (or someone does), and the rifle starts setting the standard for other production manufacturers. Once some of the states that require a .50cal rifle for certain game species realizes the potential of the .45cal rifles, some laws might get changed. [/QUOTE]
