This is a #11 gun but its a good deal in my opinion.
I own one of these Wolverine LK-93 rifles in .50 caliber. They are a real meat and potatoes kind of rifle. Don't let the #11 cap scare you off. These are fast handling, positive ignition, great shooting little rifles. I have a 3-9x40 scope on mine and it will really put the lead down range. Out to 100 yards, this is a fine hunting rifle. Although it is said to be able to hand 120 grains of 2f powder, the best accuracy comes between 80-100 grains of loose powder depending on the projectile. They make a great stalking rifle, tree stand rifle, have great fiber optic sights, a Green Mountain Barrel, Timney trigger, and double safety for when you want to climb around on things and not unload.

They might take a little longer to clean then say an Omega, but with proper care, this is basically all the rifle you would ever need for about anything. Mine does not shoot pure lead conicals well, but it does shoot Saber Tooth conicals in 300 grain real well with 80 grains of powder.

The only thing I dislike about this auction is.. its not an auction. It is a person with a supply of these rifles selling them off, for what they were selling forthree years ago. They are just using an auction site to get rid of their supply. I bought mine about three years ago for $129.00 (as I remember) I have seen these rifles sold for much less then this on auction sites. Also the rifle shown has that light weight stock, so this little 22" barrel might really snort when you touch it off ona heavy load.
