Now I do not think I would go that far.... what I would say might be that shooting an Idaho legalinline vs a sidelock with conicals might be pretty much a toss-up, but shooting a modern inline with a modern projectile vs a sidelockwith a conical, PRB, or a modern projectile - I would take the modern inline..Then add scopes into the picture and odds improve greatly for both guns but I think the modern inline might prove better there still because of powder capacity.

With all of that said there is still another story. I still figure I would have more shooting opportunities over a wider range of conditions and circumstances with a 30-30 than I would with either the modern inline or the sidelock loaded with the most modern projectile.
