RE: Good cheap ML
This reply is not necessarily to Cactus, his just happens to be the last post in the line...
If I were given the choice of the bottom line NEF and a Yukon - I am afraid I would choose the Yukon. Not trying to choose between an American gun or a Spanish gun. I just do not fancy a NEF and the Yukon does show me some promise.
One man has destroyed the reputation of Spanish gun makers and we all or lot of us swallowed it. This one man attacked CVA then inluded Traditions, and or any Spanish gun - but the early Austin & Hallecks which had the same barrel were OK. Money is/was his motivation.
The Yukon is a much more modern gun with better lines. I honestly can not say it shoots well because I do not have one but to condem it just because is is Spanish is not the way to go.
Buy American - a really good policy but today with the disappearance of the middle class American you can not always afford to buy American you, I, have to look at the best value. Again I have not done my homework so I can not say the bottom line NEF and the bottom Yukon are any better than each other but Traditions has had a lot of good guns.
Also remember the Traditions Yukon and the Remington Genesis are contracted from Ardesa Arms. Neither Remington or Traditions build them, and in Europe Ardesa is a well respected company.
