That is why I was thinning out a bit to raise some cash... From what I can see with what i got... it is great - the quality and the shooting. I will no a lot more in the month - month and 1/2...

I have read a few posts on here with breechplug area problems.
I can not speak for others but there is nothing wrong with mine. I wrapped it in tape made sure it was started correctly in the threads and turned it home...

I also wondered why no 52cal. Do I recall you saying on past posts that the 52 was a better caliber.....
I acutally thought about the 52 but I already have a 52 Exteme that shoots lights out and I could not sell it... my heart would not let me. The really good thing about the 52 is the 1-26 twist when shooting long heavy bullets. It is my dedicated elk gun and if I were hunting hogs - it would be a natural.

I do not remember saying it was a better caliber... it is pretty darn good but the 50 is still far more versitile. Although since Lehigh created the .458-220 grain bullet - it did get some addition versitility and the twist rate makes it an interesting caliber. At this point I am not into shooting the bigger 475 cal bullets but it is an option... now if I lived in Canada or Alaska - that might be something to think about.

Well one thing that gun is a shooter, very nice looking set up.
Time will tell... but I am looking forward to working it out...
