I like that rifle you bought. I only own one inline due to me not needing another. But i think you will be happy with it. I dont suggest you use sucha low powder charge like 80 grains. My winchester x-150 and my traditions kentucky rifle like charges in the 100+ grain range. My winchester this year i used 90 grains pyrodex rs with 385 grain great plains bullet. I got 3" groups at 100 yards which was okay, but after hunting with them, i'll be going back to the powerbelts. #1 reason im going back with the powerbelts is that they load a HELL of a lot easier,better accuracy and put game down a lot faster. This is in my gun, other people may prefer the other bullet but hey, its what has worked bestin YOUR gun that matters. Both of my guns are made in spain and you know what? Every damn one of them is superb quailty. I never touched the sights on my kentucky since it came in the mail. Now the winchester i replaced the sights bcuz the originals were to small for my near sightedness. But enjoy your rifle. Start out at 25 yards with 80 grains powder, get it on paper, move out to 50 and up the charge to 100 and get on sight then move out to 100 yards. Im not sure if traditions has the same max charge as BPI but if you are shooting loose powder, the maximum charge will be 100 grains and a max bullet weight of 348. If your charges are in the 120-130 area with loose, they advise to keep the bullet weight at 300 grains or lower. I accidently shot 90 grains pyro rs, 385 grain gp bullet and my aluminum ramrod out of my winchester and had zero problems. haha it even shot a good group with my previous shots! That had to be atleast 2000 grains EASILY! And good choice with going stainless steel! no rust, and if any does come up, its easily wiped off. Just because its not made in america doesnt mean its junk. Ive seen more "american" made stuff that was just JUNK.
