Dates from 1892 or so, doesn't kick much for a high power rifle, and can be had for not too much money. You can even find some that are available without paperwork, since some were made before 1898.<br /><br />Rumor has it that "Famous African Hunting Guides" would keep one around to loan to clients who brought big manly rifles and got too recoil shy to hit anything.<br /><br />If that is too much for you, you should try to borrow a Martini cadet in .310 cadet, although you might have to mortgage your house for ammunition. Those 4 lb. rifles are sweet. They were originally used to teach 14-year-old cadets (in the British empire Victorian era) to shoot a rifle that functioned like a miniature Martini-Henry. Some have been "converted" to 32-20, some to 38 special (or 357), with more or less success. They were also popular as a base for conversion to other calibers and custom rifles.<br /><br />Other choices for the recoil shy include pistol caliber lever actions (except lightweight 44 magnums), and anything in 223. <br /><br />my $.02<br />just sumguyAnonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-72447457548617272132009-10-14T17:19:42.266-04:002009-10-14T17:19:42.266-04:00Robert, obviously, you missed out on the IRC chat ...Robert, obviously, you missed out on the IRC chat afterparty. {chuckle}geodkytnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-32278169577563552.post-2029641970354556822009-10-14T07:58:23.296-04:002009-10-14T07:58:23.296-04:00Rifles, schmifles.

Before this design became common, rifles weren't arguably better than bows and arrows.<br /><br />2. Trapdoor Springfield: First successful design to use metallic cartridge. Revolutionized loading.<br /><br />3. K98: Pinnacle of bolt action repeating rifles. Copied for years by every military on earth.<br /><br />4. Garand: After the Garand, no army issued a bolt action again without knowing it was inferior.<br /><br />5. M16: Stoners rifle is the longest adopted battle rifle design EVER, with no end in sight.<br /><br />Robert LanghamAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
