RAFSOB - I think that is what your woman said about you....
Sorry - that was just too easy to pass up. But I do have to agree with you. It ain't that purdy. Plus its a Traditions. I don't get a warm fuzzy with Traditions rifles after seeing the piece of junk my friend had.
If I were to buy another inline it would definately be a break open action and would probably be a CVA Optima or Accura. I think they are a really good buy for the money. Especially when you compare them to T/C or Knight.
