Looking for feedback on the Ruger 77 muzzleloader. Saw one for sale, but can find nothing on it on the Ruger website.

Is it smokeless capable, any details appreciated.

Thanks.

I have a Ruger 77/50.. no smokeless!! black powder or substitutes only, mine likes 100 gr Pyrodex and 250SST or shockwaves.. I converted mine to 209 with the Canadian kit offered by Cabelas a couple of years ago.. don't show it now, but I think it would still be available..google it up.. Ruger discontinued this muzzleloader two or three years ago.. I have killed a few whitetails with mine.. HTH Les

I'm not sure but I think they stopped making them about 4-5 years ago.

Thank you Undrclocked. I decided to pass--my Encore shoots great, and I'm still sleuthing out my Savage, early results are damn impressive from it.
