Are you talking about the Traditions Lightning Bolt? It's a bolt-action rifle. If so, the .45 versions have a 1 in 20" twist which can be difficult to find the right bullet that will shoot good out of it. On the other hand, some people really like the 1 in 20" twist because it allows them to shoot long-for-caliber bullets.

As far as it being a good deal, I remember seeing them on clearance about 2 years ago on the Traditions website for $120. So I don't think $180 is necessarily a good deal if this is the rifle you are talking about. Hope this helps!
