About in-lines: What did Quigley say about the Colt .45 "I said I never had a use for them, never said I didn't know how to use one." That's how I feel about the in-lines. Had em., they were OK, but I like the feel of a sidelock be it a flinter or percussion.
One opinion I do have is if in-lines are permitted for hunting as they are in most states, I don't think scopes should be permitted. I know some states restrict the use of scopes and that's how I feel it should be. Sorry guys - just my 2 cents.
