I have found a Rem 700 muzzleloader 54cal new in box and was wondering what you think about the 54cal is this gun as accurate as a 50cal.

    Can you re-barrel a Reminton 700mls into another caliber?

    yes, but only for another BP caliber. The action CAN NOT be made into a center fire action.

    JustC,

    Does Remington still offer different barrels for the BP? I was looking at their website and all I see in the BP page is the new Genesis nothing listed anymore for the 700.

    They discontinued the 700 from what I hear (you know what that's worth[:(]).

    Do yourself a favor and sell it, then buy the savage 10ML. That thing will make you a beleiver.[;)][8D]

    My 700 ML was very accurate, but the savage with N110 or IMR4227 has been far more accurate as well as more powerfull by a longshot. BUT, if you keep your 700ML, be sure to upgrade it to 209 primers and use the 250gr hornady XTP and I bet you it will impress you.

    The 240 XTP's are my bullet of choice in my Optima. I love them.
    Half of the lives they tell about me aren't true.
