Savage MLII Tell me what you know.

[Wild Bill Bucks]

These rifles have been out long enough for some of you guys to know a thing or two about them, such as, do they require a special tool to put the primer on, or how hard are they to clean, and how well do they shoot, is there really an advantage to them over traditional in-lines?

Thinking about buying one, so don't be nice. If they have a problem, I want to know it.

Thanks guys.

I'll bet that these forums have a lot of Savage muzzle loader shooters who will be able to give you their opinions too:

http://www.modernmuzzleloader.com/phpBB/ (Has a Savage dedicated forum section)

The Savage rifles seem to be a little heavy (8.75 lbs. with laminated stock), maybe that helps to absorb any extra recoil resulting from using the smokeless powder.

I too would like more info...

Hi,

Another great forum for the Savage Smokeless.

It is a great muzzleloader; no need to clean as BP.

Shoots like (100 yards) (scope not adjusted):
