Is Tim the gunsmith? Got any pics? How much are you asking for it? I had also contacted Jeff Hankins to build one and he's outta stock for the time being.

Just a thought but do you know what type of smokeless that you are looking for? Are you looking for a custom built on a bolt gun like a Rem 700 for longer range shooting or a 45/70 break action conversion for woods shooting? Just thought it might help if you added that............
I've been smokeless since 2013 with a 45/70 conversion.

Tim is a cleveland guy that builds the rem 700 smokeless . Pm a number and I'll send pics .

Great question: I am primarily a thick woods hunter so seems like the 45/70 would work great and potentially be cheaper.

If that's the case, then I think that the 45/70 conversion should be what you want. Several on here have converted the 45/70 CVA Scouts. H&R was a good choice as well but no longer made. An Encore is another option as well.

I don't have an encore frame unfortunately. Wish H&R still made barrels. I've got a frame and several barrels from them.

I did find a savage smokeless ML 2 at my local fun shop for $1300. Anyone have any experience?
Great guns! I bought mine in 2000 or 2001. Best money i ever spent.

I think the Savage ML is a solid choice, there are heaps of data out there for loads. Easy to source parts also via Arrowhead and likely other vendors.

I did briefly read about some barrel explosions and some lawsuits.

Most if not all "explosions" were caused by double loading the muzzleloader, or using inappropriate powders. With the pressures you're working with in a smokeless, you have to be focused on what your doing and triple check everything. They are not for casual users.
