New Remington 700 MUZZY

[cmahoney]

Any of you muzzy experts have an opinion on these? Is it comparable with the paramount?

News to me if they’ve actually improved anything. The UML ignition system has always been pretty janky. Unless they fixed it (unlikely) - I would waste my money on it. For the record I’m no fan of the Paramount either.

For $1000+, I wouldn’t buy anything that wasn’t smokeless capable.

What would you look at instead?

I’d look at putting a smokeless capable barrel on a Rem 700 or a TC Omega. Check out Woodman Arms.

I am new to muzzy and don’t know anything. I don’t think I would use a smokeless muzzy though, they aren’t legal anywhere I hunt as far as I know. I do have a R700 SA lying around.

There's a very quick and easy fix for the ignition system for the RUM that is absolutely perfection. Its the first thing I'd replace prior to shooting the rifle.

Remington UML Replacement Breech Plug - Arrowhead Rifles

ASG Gen2 Breech Plug Upgrade for Remington 700UML And Ultimate Firearms Muzzleloaders. Includes 20 Primer Modules (ASG152) for use with Large Rifle Magnum Primers (not 209). Recommended Accessories Deprime Stand: Click Here Magnetic Bolt Stop: Click Here Hand Primers: Lee or RCBS INSTALLATION...

Arrowhead was the first to replace the OEM ignition systems on both the RUM and UF rifles. They are perfect ignition systems. Hundreds of RUM owners have switched.

The RUM will be a heavier rifle, but with a better HS vertical grip stock and the Remington 700 CF action. With that action, down the road if you ever wanted to convert to SML, its one of the best actions to do so.

The RUM is a very capable long range (500yds) 50cal rifle with easily obtainable propellants. Many of the RUM owners use the 320gr Fury Universal Fit bullets with extreme accuracy.

This I will explain............ heavy charges and 320gr bullets have substantial recoil. Brutal is a better word. Investing in a muzzle brake will be the best thing one can add.

That's a good rifle for the price.

Any similar .45 options that are available?

Knight rifles. Ultralite or the Mountaineer. Peregrine in 40cal.

You don’t have to shoot smokeless. Smokeless capable rifles make the best black powder sub rifles.

You bring up a good point. Where in the west would a RUM be legal (with a scope on it)? AZ? And if you’re not putting a scope on it, why spend the money on a “long range (“300 yard”) muzzy?” Waste of money!

Those things are awesome. You can also get around the tight bore one shot and swab routine with them too. Friends dinking around frantically janking on the rod to swab and reload for a follow up shot drives me crazy. Freaking find a combo you can reload once or twice without having to swab, it isn't that hard

That is a cool kit, thanks for the heads up I might pick one up.

I hunted a few years with the gun completely stock and it was decent. Killed a few deer with it 50-150 yards. Took it apart after a season one year and I actually lost the stock breach plug. I always planned on purchasing the arrowhead breach and at the point I needed a new plug so I did. Defiantly worth the upgrade, now I shoot that gun out to 300 with ease. After this season I plan to upgrade my scope so I can stretch the legs on the ole gal and crank them out to 500. Out of mine I use 105 grains by weight of 209 and use the 320 grain fury. I am killed a doe with it last year at 175 and had a great blood trail even though she tipped over at 50 yards after the shot. I am planning on using it to fill one of my antelope doe tags next year during rifle season and also plan on using it for a moose hunt I have coming up in a few years instead of buying myself a larger caliber rifle.

You could put a Brux barrel on your R700 SA and would be capable of shooting smokeless or Blackhorn 209. Check out the CVA Scout conversions that Jeff Hankins sells. Shoot smokeless or 209 in those also very good gun .
