some say its not, But then again, a :muzzleloader" shooting smokeless powder, Is that a muzzleloader?
The answer is a resounding yes. I am sureyou are refering to the Savage 10ML-II, the best ML out. Smokeless versus BP substitute makes no difference on whether something is an ML or not.
Well, in that case the cva electra is a muzzleloader too. They just want to test the field and see if it sells or not and theres nothing wrong with that at all. For all we know, this could actually take off if it turns out to be a good product. Im not into that smokeless muzzleloader, i feel that if you need to shoot smokeless, you may as well buy a centerfire, or better yet, if you still want that one shot challenge, a single shot. As for the savage being the best ml out there, Theres no such thing. Everyone is bound to like and dislike something on every muzzleloader. Even on my inline i wish they would have put 2 ramrod thimbles rather than one. But you cant always have everything, just have to pick what suits your needs the closest.

I'd give the electra a try if i ever had the chance to shoot one. I dont care if it has an electronic cap or not, Its something different i like taking the other road.
Fair enough on your take. I really meantthat the savage is the most versatile ML in being able to shoot smokeless or BP substitute,is safer in handling significantpsi, between 100,000-120,000 psi versus other ML's, and gives the best performance, such as getting loads reaching up to 2,900fps and still having moa out past 200 yards formost shooters.
I can appreciate that individualshave individual preferances, so I am cool with anyone shooting whatever ML they prefer.
