Ooops,,,I knew it wouldn't be a main match gun, I have a '73win for that.
Just doin' some muzin' here on the others....
The 45-90 hi/wall seems a good choice,,,but iv been warned of sevear recoil. I'v hunted with '06s, 270s , 7mm mags, 300weatherbeys,,,,would the hi/wall in 45-90 thump more than that ? I'v never been to shy about recoil,,,but would avoid it were it lethal !! Would the hi/wall be a good bp cartridge competition rifle for 500 yds or less ? How do they rate in competition with a Sharps ?
Thanks gents,,,Just muddlin' thur this like a drunk monkey with a bag over its head,,,
and of course, I know neither are 'main match' guns,,,,I should said earlier,,sorry. Our guys have bp cartridge long range shoots is what I was considering. Well, long range if you guys out west consider 300 yards long ! Here in the mts, we'd have to have one that would shoot around a hill to EVER get 800 or 1000 yards LOL
