[QUOTE="MtPockets, post: 1559847, member: 39651"] I went to Colorado 20+ years ago on an elk/deer hunt with 12 friends. We all bought new guns just for that hunt. I was young and broke, so I bought a Cabelas Red River rifle for, I think, $99 and that thing out shot about every rifle that anyone else bought! It is a Hawkin type rifle. Nothing fancy, obviously, and has a 1/48" barrel. Some of those guys bought 700's, one bought a Cabelas Rolling Block, I can't remember what anyone else bought. The thing that amazed me was how that rifle would shoot anything- round balls, Maxiballs, sabots- it didn't matter it shot them all really well. I know that the more modern inline rifles with their 1/24" barrels and their 209 primers are supposed to be all that and a bag of chips, but at least at that time- expensive didn't mean it would shoot better.
