RE: Best bang for buck ML
I would have to say the Optima Elite. New from CVA. It is the same as the Encore but A LOT cheaper. The extra barrels are few but they of popular cals. so it is a good start. 45-50 in BP, 20-12 in shotgun and about 6 in centerfire rifle. 223, 3006, 308, 243, 7mm-08 and 270. I've seen them in my neck of the woods starting at $230. Soon as the money is there, one will be in my safe.
