Who’s got a custom muzzleloader

[muledeerarea33?]

Looking for info on building a non smoke pole muzzy on a 700, 70, or savage action? I’ve looked at some complete customs but 5-8k is a bit steep. I’ve got the actions, stocks, triggers, etc so I don’t think I want to buy a complete gun. I was looking at arrowhead for a build. I haven’t built a muzzleloader yet so any info would be great.

Haha actually I was just reading a muzzy article by Toby Bridges and saw he started a website called “lobowatch” apparently it non existent now but that picture was there. Coincidence? Or fate? You tell me?

If he can give a straight answer to my muzzleloader question then I’m all ears.

I had arrowhead rebarrel my remington UML which is a short action 700  with a brux  barrel and install his ignition system. I use his bullets and size them to the barrel. The rifle shoots three bullets all touching at 100 yards, and around 2500 fps with blackhorn 209.  Let me know any questions you have about it.

As far as muzzleloaders go, I have one from bad to the bone in las cruces.  One of the best shooting guns I own, centerfires included.  He’ll build one on your own action but it only saves you what an action costs I guess.  They’re $4500 I believe.  Unreal gun though.  Mine shoots a big ragged hole at 100 and 4” at 500 yards.  I like the case system he uses over the module that arrowhead uses, although I haven’t used an arrowhead rifle.

all you need- since you have the action and stock... you are set

Sorry just saw you were thinking a smokeless build?  I don’t know anything about them.

Good info! And thank you! Your not the buster being referred to. Your the good one!

Redman thankyou. I haven’t heard of them.

I was wondering.  I’ve got in a few spats on here about various things but I don’t think it was ever over wolves and ever with Kev. 
 

I would say whatever road you take with the muzzy make sure it’s a sabotless build.  Getting the sabot out of the equation seems to be the key.  Then make sure you top it with a good dialable scope.  Even though mine does 2570 FPS with 300’s, it still drops a bunch when you get out past 300 yards.

I was looking into a smoke less build a few years back but I thought it wasnt legal in Az.

Jeff Hankins and Luke (arrowhead) have very similar systems. I have a hankins set up. A friend of mine has arrowhead. They both shoot amazing with 300's and 325's. I like the Hankins ram rod set up better than Luke's and I like Luke's breech plug and break better than Jeff's. That's what I would do if I were building again.

I think your right. What I’ve read says black powder or synthetic black powder.
