Just my personal opion, please understand this, but do not buy a Neff - there are better guns out there for better prices.

The Neff ignition system is dirty and unless they have changed the barrel, the rflings are deep and normally very rough - the rough part is not a problem that can be smoothed out.

Another thing I might suggest is a gun, a beginning gun, that you shoot the different ignition systems with, in some states such as mine you can not use a 209 ignition. I would also suggest maybe you look at a gun that can also fire conicals well. I think for a starting gun get something as versitile as you can get...

Another check your state regs, what will they allow you to use.

One last thought, do not overlook a sidehammer percussion they are/can bein-expensive and are an excellent place to start.

Cayugad has an excellent write up on getting started -send him a PM, I am sure he will send you a copy.

Good luck - shooting ML's is addictive though - you should know that going in....
