And it's really accurate with all kinds of projectiles.

Just have to know what you're doing. The accuracy is more than worth the tiny bit of effort. +1 Wow! I'm agreeing with Swampy on this one.

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. That can be cured, so can the messy bolt, and the blowback. $90 bucks and 45 minutes. To each his own though, my four are not for sale.

I much prefer them over any other type for their faster lock time and looks. Good point. Lock time is such a critical issue with in-lines.

Lock time is such a critical issue with in-lines. didnt we go over this lock time issue a couple months ago ? im sure we did . im sure we did becouse i recall geting messages about bolt throws on .250 -- .450 and a given person claiming the throw on a hammer gun was something god off the wall thing like 1 and 1/4 inchs i guess that old 1.5 horse 2 stroks trolling motor is making its way past the dock again

A traditional gun doesn't even come into the picture. Romantic yes accurate no.....

If the 700ML was so great why did big green quit making them?

They'll win matches but when I can beat a field of 40 excellent rifleman with my 20 gauge smoothbore it says something about the kind of matches they win.

When you can buy a top end spanish made inline muzzleloader for $69.95, an American company can't sell enough to make a profit.

I had one and just didn't see anything special about it. It wasn't more accurate than a Knight or T/C and just a pain to clean.

A good looking wood stock - blued metal in-line is a Austin -Halleck. I have one with a 26 inch barrel. It has some great wood on it and the finish is very well done. I do not know if they are still in business, but a used one shouldn't too hard to find.

A clean stainless 700ML is worth quite a bit.

lol they are not worth a lot. Some try to ask a fortune but they often sit for a very long time before the seller gives up.
