gonna trade in the old model 700...knight or traditons??? Opinions??
The model 700ml is one of the very good ML's I really like mine even though they are retired....
Knight or Traditions.... Man I am way to biased to give you a unbiased opinion - but the traditions should not even be in the same discussion with a Rem 700 and a Knight....
Now that I have been somewhat harsh... you know it really comes down to what you are comfortable with. Todays ML's, almost all of them are accurate and work. Your or our problem here in the Pac Northwest is the restriction that we have to meet to be able to use one during ML season. Most manufactures are not building this type of ML - they have long ago moved on to 209 ignition, so for them to offer a cap gun they have to make some sort of modification that they really do not want to make and one that they can make really inexpensivly... except possible the Knight which still offers a gun specifically built to shoot caps... the Big Horn series can shoot all 3 ignition systems as does the Remington, although I personally would not recommend the Big Horn with a 209 ignition.
And then you can get a Knight DISC Extreme with a western breech breech plug and really be in the game...
You can shoot either Musket or number 11
mag caps and they are exposed after the bolt is closed...
This is the closed bolt on a #11 cap...
The one big problem... with the Extreme is probably price... you can get a lot of other legal guns for less money.... but again I'll say I am biased but the Extreme is well worth it...
