Thread: Pros and Cons of Breakdown Single Shot's for a newb

I've seen a few single shot rifles pop up for sale on the yellowsite- Bergara, Henry and Bakail. They look neat and thought they may fit the bill for something that can cover quite a few of my requirements- affordable, easily packable (thinking sea-kayak, packraft, canoe and raft float trips and of course, some hiking) and simple to maintain.

I'll only have a budget to own one rifle (for the time being) and would like to think it could suit a range of common scenarios I'll find myself in i.e taking a few goats while on the Clarence river or joining a mate for a weekend on the tops.

Any things to consider with single shots that I should know? Is there a standout make? Anything to avoid?

Please point me in the right direction if this has already been covered in another thread- many thanks guys!
