I've heard that they're good quality too but everyone I know that has a .45 colt rifle has the Marlin rifle. You can check it out further by going to Marlin talk and doing a search on .45 colt. You might want to get them side by side and compare them both. As for the accuracy at 100 yds I couldn't tell you because most of the people I know shoot them at 50 yds and those groups are pretty good! CEJ..
