Are there any decent single shots available under $1000?
I'm not looking at break actions. Only really interested in falling blocks, trapdoors, or rolling blocks. Also needs to be in a deer or bigger caliber so thinking .357 if a pistol caliber or .243 if rifle caliber.
I've looked and while I love the Ruger No 1 I think its right on the edge of my financial comfort level.
Use will be range fun and North American Hunting primarily for deer at generally 200 yards or less. Realistically thinking 100 yards or less.
I hunt traditional black power but have lost a bit of manual dexterity in my hands during the winter. Reloading has gotten to be a bit difficult in the cold. I however love the more traditional actions that single shots provide so if I can get the feel with out the struggle so much the better.
I can afford a nicer gun, but this is going to be a working gun and I just struggle sometimes taking a $1000 + gun on a woods walk when $700 would fit the bill. I'm more concerned about function and performance than pure looks as long as it retains some of the flavor of at least the action I'm looking for.
