I have a option to buy an older Rem 700 ML. I see a lot of posts about the ML and RUM but not sure what all the differences are. I am not looking to go smokeless. Just a quality accurate Muzzy. Thanks in advance for looking.

Hummmm.............Got my RUM a few months ago. So far just shooting paper, but I'm very satisfied with it.
One word of caution would be to not be real quick to go for modifications touted as "Improvements". I went that way and now I'm back to the original configuration. Be aware you will need large rifle magnum primers, which are currently scarce and spendy (like everything else).
Don't mean to upset anyone here Encore, but I went for the breechplug conversion on your recommendation and found that when installed, the plug did not allow the bolt to open, which was kind of a pain. When I contacted the seller of this mod, I was told it was the fault of Remington, and instructed to return the plug and assorted parts for a full refund, which I did appreciate. Couple this with the month it took and the problem removing the Remington part, and it added up to something I cannot advise other members here to do.You're the first of hundreds that has went back to the original configuration that I'm aware of.
If you don't mind, what were your "improvements" and how were they worse than the original configuration?

Again, sorry if this offends.

I’m also curious about why the ASG Upgraded Breech Plug did not work in the Rem 700 UML. Was it due to the Rifle Not having Proper Primary Extraction / Bolt Timing?
Yes the primed cases worked fine. If the Remington plug should give me trouble in the future I may send it back as you suggested.So the Primed Cases extract OK? Remington will fix it under Warranty if you want them to.
