I know a lot of folks hate in-lines but my eyes need a scope. Last year I saw multiple deer, usually at about 75 yards, at dusk, in brush, and with my eyes I could not make out whether they had any antlers before they disappeared.
Most of my hunting is from a stand and the typical shooting range 75 yards in brush type country. Cabela's has a couple of $99 specials. One is their own Cablea's in-line gun called Timber Ridge and the other is a CVA gun, the Buckhorn 209 Magnum. Both are supposed to handle 150 grains of powder.
1. Do any of you own one of these guns? What type of accuracy can be expected at 100 yards with a scope? (shooting from sand bags/bench). What about 150-200 yards?
2. What do you like and dislike about each gun?
I realize these are low end guns - if I pay more what do I get? Better accuracy? Something else?
