I haven't had the pleasure of firing an original, sad to say, as no one in the club seems to have any, I'm also looking at long guns and I've already got two on my wish list, a Hawken with Creedmore sights and a Pedersoli 45/70 Sharps Quigly (but the Quigley will need a fair bit of saving up, as they're around £1100 and I haven't seen any used models about)
But I think when I go for my ticket I'll do what our clubs F.L.O. said and put down as many different firearms that can be used at our club, as possible and see how many they let you have, then you can pick and choose which one's you want on there, or should I say what I can afford
I think on of my motorbikes may have to go
