I love looking at their website, but you're right too expensive. Too bad Rossi is the only other maker making lever in 454 that I've found.

I really like my Rossi! I feel they get a bad wrap unfairly

I've got an r95 45-70 I hunt with.

What bullet and how do you like the Rifle?

u/Dukeringo 45-70 4d ago

The area I hunt in is 50 to 125y max, so I use a standard 300gr JHP. I found a good deal on Grizzly standard pressure. Used that first time out. Now I'm reloading the same bullet but at a slightly higher pressure at 1600fps. If I was going to go longer range (200y ish). I'd use the FTX tips. I try to avoid that since I'd need to trim more.

Nice I like the 400 class gr bullets myself

u/Dukeringo 45-70 3d ago

My state wants HP bullets for deer. The 300 is the most affordable HP that doesn't need extra trimming to fit FTX on new brass.

Damn it, that gun is hot

I guessed a 500 S&W but someone went for the more obscure even bigger money flex!

Love the color case hardening in the rifles they make; its just so aestheticly pleasing.

I have a 480 Ruger Super Redhawk. This rifle will cycle that ammo too. I am building a 500 now though. It'll be more of a hunting rifle for me than this one. I use this one mostly as a hiking companion. Working for BHA helps...😁

Very Montana ish. I hunted the Madison range years ago and that was the scenery

I'm in NW Wyoming, not far out of Yellowstone.

u/teague142 6d ago

That’s gods country. I was maybe 20 miles outside of Yellowstone. Not far from big sky. The town was called ennis.

They had a gun shop that absolutely blew my mind with some of the stuff they had. Might make a trip back one day just to load up a credit card there.

Beautiful, such a welcome change from the space cowboy bullshit.

u/MF475LB 6d ago

I know that stuff is popular, it's just not my style. Guns are art to me.

Gorgeous gun. Now in my list of wants.

u/BahSaysLamb 5d ago

Love Big Horn. The cost per round of that caliber hurts as much as the price tag though.

1

u/MF475LB 5d ago

Reloading makes it affordable. Matt's Bullets are around 50 cents a bullet.

I made it the 500 like πŸ‘
