Pa. is about to legalize inlines for an early season doe hunt. If they become legal I will buy one and get out in the woods. I was looking at 50 caliber prices on Cabela's website and they go for $99 and up. They all seem to have the same specs (1 in 28' twist, etc.), so what are you getting for an extra $50 or $100 if you buy a more expensive model?

I bought a .50 cal. Thompson/Center System One in-line for about $350, (if memory serves me) and have shot, but not owned those $99 rifles. I can tell you that the trigger on the T/C is much, much better then the less expensive BP rifles. Also, the rifling in the bore of the T/C is better. There are no machining marks like I saw in the less expensive ones. The combination of the better trigger and bore makes for a more accurate rifle.

A friend of mine bought a CVA. They have a cap on the end of the action to hold in the spring and striker (just like a lot of others). Only difference is the cap on the CVA is plastic, others are steel. My buddy gets out into the field early and goes to bust a percussion cap to clear the nipple and sees that the action cap is gone - it had broken off in the threads. Hunt over! Deer 1, Buddy 0.
