700 footprint muzzleloader? Misc. actions?

[CO2130]

This will be two questions in one. First off, is anyone aware of any muzzleloaders using the rem700 footprint other than maybe the CVA paramount? Second, I see many people building muzzleloaders off of rem700 short actions as well as custom actions. Is there any reason an action such as a tikka or howa/weatherby couldn’t be used? I’m new to most everything muzzleloader related but have an urge to dive into it and am looking at a knight ultralight, a 700ml, CVA paramount pro, or some type of a custom.

No reason it can't be done with absolutely any bolt action. Just need a muzzleloader barrel with a breech plug. There's even been a couple built on Desert Techs.
Breech plug and priming modules are where things really differentiate, some are better than others.

Probably the best thing I could offer in this conversation is to contact BESTILL Creations. Jeff can be a wealth of information gained from building custom ML's

The Original 700 ML was built on a 700 short action.

Luke @Arrowhead Rifles builds all kinds of customs with his breech plug system and modules. You could also buy a Remington 700 ultimate muzzle loader and upgrade it to your liking. I'm working on a review of his breech plug system for the Remington ultimate that I hope to finish up in the next month.

It's same footprint as a 700 S/A, but that's about the extent of the similarities. It doesn't have locking lugs.

The current UML is a 700 S/A

Currently, I'm only selling my custom builds and savage/remington barrel nut barrels for the DIY. No rebarrel work. We'll see what happens in the spring, but right now I just don't have time to do rebarrel work in a timely fashion.
