I think this whole thread and story is one large smelly bag of BS and frankly adds less and less credibility to those that are whining like stuck pigs about being so credible.

From what I can tell the Savage 10MLII is an excellent, over-built muzzleloader. If used with common sense and following safe loading and maintenance practices, it should serve as a fine rifle.
But I'm no ML expert, just a fella with an engineering degree from an accredited university and 35 years of muzzleloading fun.

Nor am I trying to pass myself off as the Ultimate ML Guru or on a quest to become one. Really getting tired of these self-appointed bozo's. Your not gaining any respect, you continue to loose it. Stay on your own websites.

And for the individual that got nasty about being a "private matter" when someone asked a genuine question, if you post here in the public forum it is not private. So take Tylenol for your headaches and Midol for your cramps.

If you want privacy, take yourself off line or someplace else.
I get sick of these BS threads that don't serve any purpose. I along with most others are here to share and learn.

Take this BS to your own websites, not here.

Please.
