I've been thinking of picking up a new ML soon, and really want to transition away from the modern inlines some.......but I'm definitely working with a budget here. I'm tempted to compromise and get something a little hybridized like a Traditions Deerhunter simply for the sake of price, but would much prefer a longer barrel (at least 30" bare minimum) and am inclined toward a 1 in 66" twist rate over the 1 in 48".........but I haven't come up with any options through my google efforts.

It seems like once you want a barrel that's longer than 26" and geared towards shooting round ball, there's a price jump of several hundred dollars to overcome. Am I missing some make/model that's currently available, or am I stuck in a decision of compromise? Any suggestions are appreciated.
