Well I guess its my turn. I have two of them ,one single shot (buffalo classic) and a marlin lever. Please dont listen to the term 100 yard rifle, you can shoot alot farther then that. It will still kill deer at 200 yards and beyond. No itdoesnt have laser beam trajectory, but with practice you can hit way out there. It leaves a gaping hole that you can eat the meat all the way to the hole. And if you don't reload the buffalo bore and garrett rounds are the most powerful rounds you can but for them.405 grain bullet@ 2000fps is no slouch. Check out there web sites and read for yourself. There is a reason it is still available ---- it works.150 years and counting!!! Wonder what happened to the buffalo it was 45/70.But still there are hunters who think it wont kill a deer, elk or moose !!!
