RE: Pro Hunter v Savage v White
You don't get it. I was talking about the other ML board where everyone lies about how good the Whites are all the time. I'll go there and tell lies with them. I don't think you are invited though.
Question. You have told us in all your infinite wisdom why White was there. Why was Knight, TC or whoever else there? Friendly competition I guess.

Mine is a laminate stock, they also come with a synthetic stock, which I think is what is in Alaska... There may be 3 left in the the states SW computer systems seems lag little bit...
Doc White is still very active and he has a great supply of parts... One of his newest rifles just won the Manufacturer Trophy at the NMRLA's...
Not the best picture in the world but you get the idea...
Also here is one of my first targets from the White...
Great gun... I really do not need smokeless - I guess I feel I could always load one shell in my 308, but a lot of other people really like them.... and that is their choice..(savage)

This is one of my pair of UltraMags. I've since changed the scope to a 3x9 Burris ballistiplex, also changed to somewhat better fitting bases and Warne QD rings.

Doc has one over on his website that is slightly used. He's pretty proud of that one but would likely deal a bitand might even make you a great deal on the rifle. http://www.whitemuzzleloading.com/prod04.htm Very slow page to load so be patient. Umag is about 80% down the page. Check out his kits while you are there.

I am new to your forum here and thought I could ask around and get your opinion about the three ML's I am really looking at purchasing for the up coming deer season in Missouri. I am an avid bowhunter and do not have any past experience with black powder and muzzleloaders.

Considering that you are new to the sport, I might recommend that if you purchase the Savage, to use some cleanBP substitute in it, like AP or Goex Pinnacle. It burns clean and is less likely to get you in trouble as you learn how to use a muzzleloader safely. Doesn't mean that you use smokeless in it later, just learn with a powder which isn't as potent. The worst thing you could do is put 140 grains of 4815, (like some insane people on other forums do), and have a short seat or be double loaded. Just learn the routine and be safe and if you buy a Savage follow Savage's recommended loads.
Like I said, you willbuy more than one. My wife doesn't know it yet, but I have already decided on my next, (a 1/1/8" X 36" in either .58 or .62 cal, maybe a flinter). Since this is your first, you simply can't go wrong. Let your first one be the one that "feels right" after you have filteredthrough everyone'scomments and suggestions. Once purchased, shoot it and enjoy it.
Happy Hunting, Phil

RE: Pro Hunter v Savage v White
Thanks again for all your guys time and information. I do reload some of my own center fire rifle loads, so I do have a nice scale and other reloading equipment ~ I am expecting to reuse some of that when putting together various loads for my ML. I am very anxious to dive into the ML side of shooting although now I sure have to schedule my time more wisely between practicing with my bow and a new ML.

I know you guys have shoot many different ML and black powder rifles ~ if you have the time could you tell me your thoughts and recommendations between these ML's?

Why are you asking us for the Savage smokeless option? That is a powder option that only you can decide. Or are you considering only using blackpowder and/or substitutes with the Savage?
You also listed White Rifles? Please offer readers here a dealer name, address & phone number/website that has NEW (not refurbished)White Rifles.
In my non-smokeless opinion, life is grand owning a Stainless Steel, Laminated Thumbhole Omega. The Encores are wonderful if you desire purchasingtheir very expensive aftermarket barrel options.

I wouldn't hesitate (if money weren't an option) to buy any of them. But I will say what others haven't... the Savage and the White each have adjustable triggers, the Encore only with aftermarket parts. I own both the Savage and the White... as well as a Knight. The composite stocks on those Whites will probably be B&C stocks, very nice! If money was an issue I would go for the White... White Rifles the company is still operating, all be it barely, and the rifles all have a lifetime warranty and Doc White himself is a tremendous resource for advice and parts. As has been noted the UltraMag is the only rifle of the three that will shot sabots AND conicals effectively.
