I am just such a fan of the 454 Casull and one in a lever carbine would be a fun rifle that would be cheap to practice with when 45LCs were used.

As for the 500Smith in the Encore, that IS a possibility and would most certainly be a fun rifle that carrys well and would probably shoot like a dream. The only hesitation I have with ordering something like a Puma in the 454 is the fact that it is a realitively cheap foreign copy of a 94. At least with the Encore I know the quality is there to hand it down too my kids/grandkids!

Thanks men,
