I would go with a .50 cal and be done with it. Knight is going to be a great choice or a CVA...IMHO...A Break Action design is really easy to maintain over a bolt action, but whatever you choose I would get it in stainless hands down.

For the money, CVA and you would have enough to get many different extras, but a Knight is hard to beat.

All tyranny needs to gain a foothold is for people of good conscience to remain silent.
