A traditional rifle is a fine choice. Just because inlines are the craze, that is no reason to overlook the traditional rifles. The trouble is traditional rifles have really gone up in price. If you want a good quality traditional rifle, go to the gun auction sites. You can often times get a Thompson Center Renegade for around $150-$200.00 . If this is more then you wanted to go, check out CVA. I heard they are bring back their Bobcat rifle, Mountain Rifle and Hawkins. You can get them usually for under $200.00 and the Bobcat is often times sold in Wal Marts for around $69.00.

To be frank.. there are a lot of inine rifles on the market and you can get them for around $100.00. Soon many of the stores will be dumping them on the market and they will come down in price to around$89.00. The thing to remember about inline rifles is, you can shoot roundball out of them with low charges but they are most accurate with sabots (for the most part). Sabots cost a lot more to shootthen roundball.
