There isn't one single inline in production right now that I would own. I think I'm on the prowl for another 700ML.

Love my original orange disc Knight that I bought new for $150. Made two changes in the beginning when you could get the mods. Wrenchless bolt rear and added a crossfire breech plug for pellets. With white hots and scorpions it will clover leaf @ 100. Fantastic trigger and the bolt is a snap to spin apart to clean. I have a life time supply of orange disc's and a few spare breech plugs. I'm set.

My wife bought me a T/C Omega, stainless / sythetic Realtree Hardwoods stock, and a Nikon Prostaff 2-7x32 camo scope eight years ago. The scope is in Leupold QD rings and returns to zero every time. I probably enjoy shooting caplocks and flints more, but it is 100% reliable and puts 295 grain Powerbelts into the same hole at 50 yards all day long - 1 1/2" to 2" groups at 100 yards with three 50 grain Pyrodex pellets. I wouldn't give it up for anything!

The Savage is as good as it gets but I sold my last one. I like Knight products too.

if you would buy a 700ml over any of the new inlines,then you just proved how nuts you really are. i would buy a cva wolf elcheapo over the remington ml's. any thing but those crappy 700's

I prefer a boltaction and a wood stock. That makes it tough....If I get another 700ML it will be stainless.

Bolt action gets, what, 150 fps more and "deadlier" accuracy? With what, only 6 additional inches of superfluous steel in the action?
A classic example of teats on a boar.
You guys know swampy's just messing with you, stirring the pot, right?

What dont you like about em? poor design,all the trash gets in the bolt and firing pen assesmbly. if you don't take them completly apart everytime you clean it,the firing pen will foul and not work. just a real pain in the ass to clean. there are way better designed ml out there. 700ml is out dated.

Just have to know what you're doing. The accuracy is more than worth the tiny bit of effort.

No, that's wrong. For something to be "outdated" it first has to have utility during a given time period. A "bolt action" muzzleloader is an idea whose time never came.

I much prefer them over any other type for their faster lock time and looks.

the 700 ml isnt a true bolt action in the first place. Sure it uses a bolt, but its in fact a plunger style set up.
