eldeguello, we agree. As far as ignition, my BEST inline uses the #11 caps just as many sidelocks do. The only real advantage is perhaps a faster locktime in the inline when comparing the AVERAGE sidelock to the average inline and the fact that most inlines are easily scoped if the old eyes require glass (as do mine). SOME inlines also operate more quietly when preparing to shoot (safety vs cocking a hammer) and some are even noisier.

Good eyes and steady nerves with a well tuned sidelock rifle are awfully hard to beat at the range and certainly in the field.
