I went big for my 1st rifle a 45-120 sharps! was an early rifle from Wolf, and I had to clean it every shot, to chamber another round! it didnt last long. Iv owned Shilos, C. Sharps, Ballard & a Red Willow! Cals 120, 45-70, 40-70, 44-77, Hunted with all but the 120 took whitetails and 2 Bears. Never shot a match, but went to a sight in day before the match, I didnt have a rifle with me and had to work the day of the shoot, a fellow let me fire his 45-90, I knocked 3 Rams down and hit another one, but it didnt fall and missed the last one! Not much in the way of Shoots here in Michigan back then! NO rifles now but hope to get back into them one day!
