Tky1187 ,
I own the following:
Traditions Buckhunter Pro , 1 in 48" , .54 cal
Traditions Lightning Magnum , 1 in 28" , .50 cal
CVA Hunterbolt , 1 in 28" , .50

All were under $200 except for the Lightning . The Traditions rifles have served me very well . They all shoot accurately , are easy to clean , and came with TruGlo FO sights . The Buckhunter is generally around $150 , the Lightning is not much more .

The CVA was a disappointment , it broke the trigger spring on the 12th round fired , and wouldn't group well regardless of load or range . When contacted for warranty replacement CVA informed me that the trigger group was not included in their "limited lifetime warranty" . The replacement cost would have been $30-40 , so the gun is still sitting in my closet .
