The Remington .50 caliber muzzleloader was one of the first inline bolt-action muzzleloaders on the scene. These rifles are built on the Model 700 short action. The receivers are drilled and tapped for scope mounts.
The 700 ML features a matte black synthetic stock, a carbon steel action and 24" barrel with a satin-blue finish and a 1 in 28" rate of twist. The 700 ML weighs approximately 7 3/4 pounds and is 42.5" in overall length. The instruction manual states that the maximum charge should be held to 120 grains of black powder or Pyrodex in .50 caliber rifles and 90 grains in .45 caliber rifles.
