Well, I heard alot of chatter that Marlin was going to chamber a lever gun for the new .500 S&W Magnum. I will definitely own one of those. They have one chambered for the .480 Ruger, I can't remember which one, the website won't load right now. I have seen it on the site but haven't seen one in the shops. They are also about to release one chambered in .475 Linebaugh, if they haven't already. Those would all be awesome. But, for something you want to shoot alot, I would probably get the .44 magnum and top it with a nice ghost ring sight, unless you reload. If you do, wait till they get that .500 perfected, buy the dies, and shoot the hell out of it. Let us know what you decide!
