As Popplecop said..he is old and kinda stuck in his ways. BTW I also know what a straight 8 is....an inline. The people that have bought the sidelock guns from me in the last few years are also the older guys. Being out there means more than killing it. ...But the ol guys like us aren't the ones buying the new guns or shooting them either. Heck guys...I thought when Winchester stopped making the real Model 70 in 1963 they quit making guns. We may have a resurgence of sidelocks...like we did with blackpowder shooting itself...but not for a while. I think there is also another smokeless powder inline muzzleloader coming out in the next year. oh well...
