kirby375, if you just have to have one of those cannons good luck!
My son has one in 45/70 and it is vicious with heavy loads,I can't see why anyone would ever need a more powerful rifle in that weight class.
I'm not saying it isn't very cool, as I would love to have one myself but I already have a Marlin 1895 which weighs enough to lessen the recoil punishment.
I'm becoming something of a sissy as I get older and joints begin wearing out, so now I wouldn't consider shooting one of them revolvers chambered for that 500s&w and a light weight gun such as the handi rifle wouldn't be much better. This is just my openion for what it's worth, Glenn
