A few thousand dollars could get a very decent example... I agree - and might be the funnest girl at the dance, too. No crazy reloading issues, just run up a bunch of shells and go shoot rats at the dump or beer cans off the fence posts. Seriously.

I figure I put a minimum of 200#'s of lead through the last one (535 grains) at a time.(All smokeless loads) :)Interestingly the Rolling Block was the more accurate of the three. Dodging lions and wasting time.....
