I own a Savage centerfire rifle & it's a great gun. Have a lot of respect for the company, and no reason to think that the 10ML isn't a fine rifle. Glad you're happy with yours.
That said, I think you're blowing more smoke than my old flintlock does with Goex fffg down the tube. There's still a bunch of us out here who don't need (or even want) a muzzleloader that has better ballistics than a big bore lever. You seem to have worked out a nice pecking order of accuracy by manufacturer. Either you've spent considerable range time witha dozen or sorifles from each company, or your unofficial rankings are about as useful as a sopping wet can of gunpowder.
IMVHO foriegn made MLs are basically disposable guns(sorry if that offends anyone)
Bull---t, you're not sorry. Offending people is the only reason you'd post something like that. An awful lot of folks shooting tight groups & killing critters with these foreign-made disposables. They must be buying new ones every year & not telling us.
Ouch, a bit harsh ,not to mention a little rude dont you think? I was responding to another post proclaiming TCs were "the creme of the crop" of inlines and I simply gave some facts and comparisons to support why I believe the savage is superior. I never said that everyone had to jump on the savage train in order to effectivly hunt w/ a muzzleloader.
As far my "disposable guns" comment, I stand by it, but maybe I could have used a less offensive choice of words since I seemed to have hit a nerve, so again,sorry fellas.
In all honesty though, of the 2 spanish made MLs Ive owned( and witnesed many more) both were hopeless rust buckets ,that were very cheaply made, not to mention horrible 7lb triggers. Heck for a 150$ what more could they be? Did they shoot? Sure. Did they last more than a year? w/ a ton of grease all over em , yeah, but Ive also had plastic ciggarette lighters in my junk drawer for years too , doesnt mean I trust em on nasty late season hunt, nor did I trust those two MLs ,thats why there in a landfill somewhere, and not 2miles into the cold wet forest, laying across my lap where my savage now goes.
If you use a 150$ spanish ML and love it ,and trust it, and kill deer w/ it , I do not look down at that, I admire that & I salute you , I just hope you continue to have better luck than I did.
