RE: new guy with questions
Almost any of the modern inline rifles are accurate to 100 yards once you find the right powder bullet combination. I saw a Rossi at a gun show a while back. To be honest I was not impressed with the rifle that much. The stock to barrel fit could have been better and I did not like the trigger. It had a lot of creep to it before it actually released the hammer. Perhaps I was just unlucky and saw a bad one.
If your on a tight budget at this time, I might suggesta NEF Sidekick. They are $159.00 at Cabela's on line. They have a good reputation for out of the box accuracy and dependability. I used to recommend some of the auction sites for a good deal on rifles but after seeing some of the prices they are getting or should I say demanding for their used rifles is hard to believe...
