[QUOTE="emp1953, post: 2341624, member: 71817"] When Remington first came out with the 700ML .50cal I jumped on one right away. Right out of the box I had problems with misfires with the #11 percussion caps. My life got busy and it got relegated to the back of the safe for several years. I finally brought it out and started playing with it. Misfires continued, click but no bang. My gunsmith fixed it over the phone. He said Remington used a lubricant that dried out and got hard in the bolt innards. He gave me a cleaning regimen that included kerosene and carb cleaner. Never had a misfire since. I bought a 209 primer conversion kit for it, my smith installed, now flawless performance. It was less than $300 new. Plus the Nikon 3x9 that I topped it with. Two 50gr pyrodex pellets, and a 250gr Barnes ML Solid hollow-point sabot bullet. No idea about velocity but I know it kills deer out to 145 yards for me and will shoot a 1" group at 80 yards if I dry swab the barrel after each shot. Best investment I ever made. No need to spend thousands. [/QUOTE]
