I too would suggest a Merkel. They are $12k Canadian new, so that’s about $8.5k USD. If you can find a good used .450 BP, then that is another route you could take..... Look at the Ellwood Epps web site as well as the Wolverine Supplies web site and you will see a good selection of firearms in $CDN..... For an American, the prices are fantastic once the very favourable exchange rate is applied.
