[QUOTE="ENCORE, post: 1149829, member: 33046"] Savage stopped making their smokeless muzzleloader a number of years back, after a ton of lawsuits filed against them. Those that have and use them today still swear by them but, they don't load them hot. What's happened to the Savage is that the rifle's actions are highly sought after by the new smokeless shooters. They remove the barrel and throw it out, using the action and re-barrel them with .45 custom barrels. There are a couple guys that have created a breech plug for use in those custom barrels that works perfectly. As far as how the Rem and Savage compares for these builds, it all depends on who you talk to or listen to. Many like the Savage and say its the easiest to convert, which is why the price for a used rifle has gone through the roof. Others may disagree and prefer the Rem. If you don't mind a more custom fixed action, Ultimate Firearms Inc. builds their muzzleloaders on the Remington 700 40X action and Cooper is about to release a new muzzleloader with its in house fixed action.
