Dont neglect some solid bolt actions. For distance take a look at the 6.5 Creedmoor. And blackpowder is cheap, your reloads require no speciel equipment. (: They say 3% of gun owners own over 50% of the guns with an average of 17. So youve got some work to do.
I seriously doubt that 3% number.
It is illogical given the ccw permits and family heirlooms.
Perhaps such a low number comes from effete elite city dwelling cannon fodder.
