That's quite a gun, Rod. .44 mag, I assume - what bullet and load?

The rear tang screw is the butt pivot? Cool!''

I had a 16" Trapper in .45 Colt - would like another some time - but 20" in .45 Colt as well- maybe a Marlin.

At .44 mag pressures, (RP brass only & W296) ran cast 300gr. HP's at 1,584fps (2 elk) - same as a .45/90 BP load of 1885.
