Title: Break action rifles compared to traditional inline
Post by: Hilltop123 on November 10, 2013, 04:05:21 PM: Other than the obvious, is one better than the other? Is one more inherently accurate than the other?

Post by: MountainDevil54 on November 10, 2013, 05:09:01 PM: both can be just as accurate as the other, faster lock time on the inline obviously is a big plus, easier cleaning on most break actions. Better twists suited for conicals or sabots, ect. It just all depends.

This rifle is one I put together based off a CVA Stock stock, but due to the Hawken only being available in 54cal with the faster 1:48 twist, I decided to do a little modifying and I bought and installed a CVA Mountain Rifle .58cal 32" 1:66 twist barrel and after some time, had it fit onto the Hawken stock like a glove. That sucker is my best traditional rifle I've ever owned.

1 1/8" @ 100 yards isn't to shabby either. I hope to improve it with a Marlin peep sight later down the road.

I also like to have the options the inline gives with regards to the different bullets you can use . The round baller has never let me down yet goes off every time and hits where i point it
