RE: Looking for my first inline...... need guideance!
Blazer,
I would go with a quality 50 - like an Encore, Omega - or one of the good Knights or CVA's ( not trying to piss anyone off - those are jus the one's I know about ! ). As far as the 200-300 yard shots - use a muzzle loader for what it is - most people cannot shoot a center fire at those types of ranges - much less a black powder type gun. Just get the gun and enjoy the longer seasons without making a science project out of it !
