I have a good friend/client who owns a gun store in a nearby town..he normally hunts elk with the exact same revolver you posted..believe it or not, he shot an elk several seasons back at 255 yards ...no scope--open sights with the 475 Linebaugh...

Excellent cartridge..and IMHO, the Freedom Arms are much nicer handling gun than the S&W's revolvers in those larger cartridges.. a close friend of mine picked up a 4" S&W in .460 last year..I shot it ..did not like it..bore axis was extremely high..glad it wasn't mine..

If I did get a S&W I would opt for the 460..which allows you to shoot it, along with 454 Casull and 45 Colt in the same handgun...

About 25 years ago I spent a season hunting whitetail with a Ruger Super Blackhawk in .44 mag..was very deadly if I did my part on anything in the 100 yard or less range ..preferably closer
