Which BP rifle to get?

[GJD]

Hello everyone. This is my first post here, but I've been active on other forums. I have a choice of 3 rifles for my next purchase.

1) Remington Rolling Block, .43 Egyptian for $300

2) Portuguese Kropatschek, 8x60R for $375

3) Snider, .577 caliber for $395

Which would you reccomend getting? I've found someone that will load ammo for these caliber and others. I've also been thinking about loading my own. What have your experiences been with these calibers? Thanks.

I don't really know those guns that well, but I think an imported Egyptian made copy of a Remington might be a mystery when it comes to quality control. You might get a gun made by blind, retarded monkeys in a better condition than you will from third world countries.

But honestly, I don't think our decisions should dictate what you want to buy. Get what you want.

I'd buy the good old Remington. Why, becasue the Egyptian 43 is also Sharps 44-77 bottlenose cartridge.

Remington. The Egyptians didn't copy the action but bought it from Remmy. You can always rebuild it to another caliber or into a BP target rifle.
