Default RE: buying new gun

ORIGINAL: lemoyne

I agree with most of what the others said, but I will add a few things circumstances often change what is best for you.
#1 If you live in a state where you can use smokeless powder and are willing to stand the recoil of shooting heavy bullets at high velocity and carry a gun thats a bit heavy and a bolt action [they are of necessity a bit longer and more awakard] then a savage is the best for you.
#2 If you live where you can not use smokeless and are willing to pay a bit more [ I have failed to understand the people that buy a half dozen 500 dollar guns then scream about the price of the best powder]
try Black Horn 209 and a Triumph as long as you intend to put a scope on it and shoot sabots.
#3 If you live where iron sights are require then get an Omega the stock on the Triumph is designed for use with a scope.
#4 If you live where there are restrictions against sabots then get a White they are designed for conicals.
Well said, good advice. Chap
