Tonys link didn’t work for me.  This one should.

If you just want to just have fun and not worry about being competitive, one of the lined-barrel 44 1/2s would likely work. Same with the Japanese Low Walls.
If being competitive is important, you'll want a CPA or a C.Sharps Low Wall with a modern barrel done right.
Or, as I'm in the process of doing, buy a new or original action (CPA, S.Sharps & MVA all sell new actions) and do/have the work done. I was fortunate and found an original 044 1/2 action and should have it ready-to-go by mid-spring time. When finished I'll have about $2500 into it. But, it will be worth every penny.
It all depends on what you want out of the sport. To be competitive is never cheap, especially since all the competitive shooters are shooting $15+/box ammo these days.

Ya, but you make up for it by having some really nice rifles available!
