Remington Model 700 Muzzleloader

Has anyone had any experience with one of these? Although pricey it seems like a good item but I have never seen one in person.

We've had a few thread discussing it, lots of interest. Still new to the US too but guys are posting more and more info on other forums and there are new You tube videos being posted regulalry.

For the most part, the results are very good. No major complaints.

Of course there are still the idiots out there, pulled this off one forum;

Hi, new here just found this site while looking for info on the 700ml. I baught one 2 weeks ago and having troubles with it. The best group I can get out of it at 100 yards is 4" to 9" been trying loads at 180-200 grains 777 with the remington bullets and three different barnes bullets.

Pushing his bullet, with 180 gr of T7 and wondering why he's getting bad groupings

They had one a number of years back, lots of people had problems with them and they stopped making it.

It would be good to know if they learned from past mistakes.

And those problem's were ?? I had one circa 1998. Shot great once the 209 conversion kit was installed. The down fall to to them was it was just a 700 fabed for ml? and a pain to clean compared to the new one's that hit the market ( pick a maker ) with thumb screw breach plug's ! Bought another bolt ml but savage so a total new animal.

No clue, never owned one, it was something that was floating around at the time, the gun shops in my area could not sell them and they kept seeing them come in on warranty.

It may have just been the mid-90s Remington QC, not sure.

Remington should quit trying to capture any share of the ml market. Any attempt they have tried just does not work.

All indications from the users so far, this new 'Ultimate' is a success..I think they have a winner here for guys that want to shoot a BP ML long distance.

But, as Savage found out with the ML10, that market is pretty small and after poor sales in the final year the were forced to drop out of the ML market.

I am waiting for a smaller higher BC bullet to be loaded with the same muzzle loader.

I know that you can duplex your sabots but this is not standard.

When will they come out with a 35 cal spire point boat tail loaded into a 50 cal sabot?

I know Mike, tradition, ha ha.

A 35cal boat tail bullet in front of 80gr of black powder, maybe 100gr.

Pair that with an old 54cal shooting round balls and you have the late season covered.

They do you just need a .45cal barrel! http://mmpsabots.com/store/blue-sabot/. Or just build a custom .40cal or whatever.
