I've got an itch for a lever gun, probably won't pick one up till May (when i get my next rifle, seven hundred cash is already there but I make it a point to limit myself to two guns a year unless I build them).
I don't want anymore AKs, I'm waiting to see if I'll ever do an AR build but I can't find love for the .223 caliber, and I already own a CETME(might get another one but I don't feel a want for a FAL because of it), and I don't want to start down the whole Garand alley because the ammo is isanely high.
But I have wanted a lever action rifle for a long time. I originally thought of a .30/30 but since my reloading kit is due to arrive any day now and I'm interested in getting a .454 Casull handgun or .460 S&W in the future I figure the lever action would be a nice addition.
My only questions are: Can you shoot .45LC out of it and maybe get more capacity than just the 10+1 .454 capacity, is Puma a good product, and is this a rifle I can expect to get some mileage out of If I'm only putting twenty or thirty rounds through it a month. Also does anyone know where I can find performance reviews for fps, using a handgun round meant for 7.5" barrel that is supposed to do 1800fps ought to be quite interesting out of a 20" barrel.
