Ruger 77/50 in stainless or blue............best inline I have used of late. I still have a very old TC hawken (w/ long tang) in 54 caliber that I use for elk and mulies but the ruger 77/50 is a purdy piece of hardware indeed.

Stay Safe !

I have an old TC hawken I put together from a kit in the late 70's. Bought the kit from JC Penny mailorder straight to an APO. I finished it at Ft Hood. Almost cost a marriage when I browned the barrel in the kitchen using the range to heat it. Wow, talk about stink!

Love that little gun though - a .50 that shoots as sweet as you can ask.

My son-in-law has an in line Knight - he likes it, but I am a little more purist in thought about black powder.

That's two Ruger kudos so far. I may forgo the 150 grain powder of the magnums.

Thanks.....I know a Ruger is as reliable as my toddler messing his huggies at the dinner table.
