Thanks for all of the advice this week. I found a good deal on a 50 cal CVA Hawken rifle on Gunbroker, and talked the guy down another $35!

I'm going to use this to get started shooting and have some fun. I'll re-evaluate ML #2 once I get settled in Washington and see what comes out in 2010.

Here is a link to the auction with some good pictures. I'll hopefully get this out to the range in the next few weeks and will post up a report...
