Default Traditions Lightning .45 Long Distance Rifle

Have you shot the Traditions Lightning .45 Long Distance Rifle? How does it compare to the other .45 magnum inlines out there?
What is a good price for one? Thanks.

Yes. I bought 1 this year. I have thrown about 50 rounds through it so far and have had more than acceptable accuracy with the 275 gr Powerbelts in front of 120 grains Pyrodex pellets and a 209 primer. I have no experience with any other .45 in-lines and have not checked the gun out for distances beyond 100 yards, yet. I belong to a club with a 300 yard range and hope to try other loads at various distances this winter. I will report my results back to you here.
