Cupcake ,
I have a Traditions Buck Hunter that my wife bought me for xmas a few years ago , it was $150 and drops anything in it' s path . It is available in .50 and .54 calibers , black or camo stock , black or nickel barrel . It' s simple , reliable , and easy to take down with one tool(supplied) . Your hubby can always upgrade to a more expensive ML later , but they all shoot pretty much the same .
