On the plus side I heard the original maker is looking to make more according to the internet buzz.

When I was shooting IHMSA back in the early 80's, the guys with those barrels didn't enjoy them much. A 7x30 Waters or 7mm Intl Rimmed in a 14" barrel is a nice combo. Pachmayr used to make a grip and fore end set that isn't as pretty as the wood but your hand will like it better. Don't know if they are still made. In a 10" barrel the .357 Maximum is sweet and unbelievably accurate.

Settled for now on the 45 colt as oughta put an anchor on any pig one crosses paths with. Got a 17 Remington barrel to play with as well. if don't blink you can see he hole appear when light it off. A 45/70 for when want my teeth to rattle too. Some individuals use statistics as a drunk man uses lamp-posts — for support rather than for illumination.
