Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Muzzleloaders Remington 700 ML

Looking for opinions and advice on a 700 ML. I have a chance on a. 50 that adheres to Oregon's requirements. It's blue w/ synthetic stock.

Randy doesn't think much of it, but many don't think much of Randy. So......

Thanks, OH.

I read that article.....the reason I was looking for first hand rwports. The gentleman wants $350 for it.

I had a blue/black .50 that I bought used. The bore was a little pitted, but it shot great. I sold it because a bolt action muzzle loader is just not my thing. But it was a good gun.

That said, I think $350 is a little steep. Check these out.

blue/syn are bringing around $150

Bull [bleep].....

The average sold price for the campfire classifieds is $250.00 shipped.

Doc

i can buy that swampy junk in my area for 3bucks a pop

Hear some like them, but a pain in the tail to clean, and keep an 1/8" drill bit handy to keep ignition port open.

350 is to high, 250 max.

There is no way I'd pay $350 for that. The local classifieds is always full of these and they are almost always $150 or under for the blued/synthetic model, and if you look you can usually find a stainless steel one for that price.

That said, it's a really outdated design and for $150 I think it would be a good deal, but for $350 you'd be much better off with a more modern muzzle loader from T/C.

Buy a Wolf or Impact for $250. You'll be happier.

Throw some more suggestions at me......

Oregon regs......open ignition, #11 caps, open sights, round balls or conicals. Prefer to shoot inline with conicals.

Thanks on all the advice.

If I lived there, i'd shoot a sidelock with a faster twist for conicals.

Does the cap have to be exposed? Here's an option.

Yes, cap must be exposed.

The gun in the link will work. It's made for your state.

old hunter, the real question is, how will the danged TC shoot with conicals? Gotta pick one up for testing i think lol

Are there any other options for #11 caps?

If it was me. I'd get a Lyman GPH with a 1-32 twist. Heavy gun though.

traditions has a northwest rifle set up as well. That one i know will shoot conicals good.

CVA Elkhorn is another 3 ignition type set up.

There you go Moose. More options.
