Default RE: Best ML for the Money?

ORIGINAL: Mathewsboy

I'm looking at getting a GOOD Inline.. Easy to clean and accurate. Whats the best one to get? Say for around 150-200 bucks..
The stainless sidekick is around $229, the replacement ramrod $43 with shipping, the additional primer carriers $10. $282 dollars. I have one and it is a shooter, both conicals and lately the 375 SSB's. A good rifle. You may want to know its not so great points also. There is alot of blowback. It'll crud in your breech plug from the outside and you need to periodically clean the receiver in order to get a good lock on the action while range shooting. You can't get to the trigger assembly to clean it and blow back gets in there in spite of the primer carrier's little channels. The tool for removing the bridge plug is not particularly desirable.

I like her and I think she is worth every penny of what I paid for her. But why pay FULL PRICE for your rifle? There are some really great deals out there. Instead of getting your money's worth, why not get more than what you paid for? Good luck.

Oh and one other thing, my Sidekick won't shoot APP consistently at all. I think because the primer carrier only gets a limited portion of the primer's flash through the breech plug. You'll notice firing a primer while unloaded will literally blacken the carrier.
