when using powerbelts, that 270gr platinum would have been a disaster on elk. Very poor choice of bullet for an elk. I suggest you do some research on the lighter weight powerbelts so you have a successful season.

I picked this up many many months ago and did a little more work on it yesterday. This is an ultra rare factory walnut stock from the early 80's during their first few years. CVA pretty much used beechwood, BUT, those early years, they had a limited supply of walnut , and I got super lucky and...

HA! 1.5" out of a paramount? I can do better with a 2010 model wolf.

And what ever you do, make darn sure the muzzy you buy is able to use open sights!

NO LONGER AVAILALBLE

Yeah, a bit pricey for what it is, but it does like a well designed and made product. Anymore, I purposely slow down my reloading after a shot, so I can listen to the animal running through the woods.

Never had BH209 draw any moisture over the years i shot it. No need to push a load out at the end of the day either. Load it, keep it dry, wipe it down it the rifle gets damp from rain. Never had the need to tape a muzzle. Always figured that its easier to point the barrel at a slight...

no kiddin! Going back west to the mountains on the 13th to meet my dad and brother, then head up to our hunting area. Dad has a doe tag, so Im going to film him for once lol. Hes using his traditions hawken that i built him. Patched round ball and the real stuff!

This is a BRAND NEW gun! I bought a brand new, complete, stock, and dropped in a Brand New, CVA Hawken barrel. I used a .54cal 28" 15/16" CVA Hawken barrel, removed all factory stamping, and stamped my own 54 marking on the barrel. This barrel is a deep groove 1:48 twist and is brand new...

Traditions St.Louis Hawken ( Kit Gun I did years ago ) .54cal 1:48 twist, 70gr 3fg Gearhart-Owen, .020" patches, .530" round balls @ 50 yards.

Since theres no shotgun area, i guess this will do lol. I got this old conversion up and running today! What a blast to shoot!

As we all know, I am a big fan of CVA guns since a young age. I had a customer come to me and ask me to get him set up for a solid 200 yard rig for NM elk. Well I picked out the paramount, but he was later talked into buying the CVA Accura MR-X .45cal.. Ok cool! not a big deal. Boy was I wrong...

IMO i'd stay away from the X cva guns. Just got in an MR-X and its a turd. Going back to the company for replacement. Super heavy trigger, the scope rail came all burred up, forearm sits cocked sideways. I've heard folks are having horrible accuracy issues with them as well. Never got past...

When I pull out the real, worlds most powerful handgun, that could blow your head clean off..... :chuckle: My newly re-barreled CVA Mountain Pistol with a .54cal 28" barrel.
