RE: traditions 50 cal
The barrels on these are fairly short and is basically made for shots 100yds or less, it should shoot 4-5inch groupsat 100yd when broke in and with the rightload combination. For $300I would go with a CVA you will have to check with a reatil store forexact price quotes but with a break open and 209 primer these guns are very good for the price, but keep in mind the cost of ammo.
