[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 979179, member: 33046"] Rereading what I posted, I don't think I stated anywhere that smokeless muzzleloaders were dangerous. However there has been more than one that has exploded and caused injury. Of course its blamed on operator error. Most everything operated by a human is considered operator error. What most shooters don't know, including me to start, there are A LOT of Ultimate Firearm rifles out there and many owners owning more than just one Ultimate. Bob Parker owns two of them himself. What's at issue is, up until Remington came out with the RU, the rifles and ignition system just wasn't discussed much by their owners. Yeah, you get a few YouTube's, mostly from UF but, the owners just don't talk or converse about them much in forums. I'd almost bet a 6-pack of cola, that other than UF, I've probably commented/posted more than just about everyone and that hasn't been that much IMO. The RU brought the "Ultimate" back to the foreground again. With rifles being made for over 10 years, there's a lot of them out there and Ken Johnston has a waiting list. Its the misunderstanding, lack of knowledge and that these rifles are out of most shooter's "normal". I have two quotes from Bill and Luke, that would have made me OUTSTANDING smokeless muzzleloaders and, capable of shooting BH209. I wanted something different and out of my "norm" and certainly got it. The RU is going to be much cheaper and I can't wait for it to get into the hands of some good shooters, who are not getting paid to endorse it. We'll see if it can compete with the UF rifles.
