I'm looking for suggestions, I'd like to buy a rifle that can lob either lead or jacketed bullets of at least forty caliber with enough authority to kill anything in the eastern US. I guess that means I'm looking for something .41 Mag or bigger.
I already load .44 Mag so I'd thought about the Marlin 1895 but folks seem to have frequent problems with them and I hear they're not built for full tilt .44 Mag loads. A local store had one of those stainless / laminate Ruger 1-S in .45-70 that seemed like it'd be fun, but the stock was fugly and someone bought it anyway before I could go back to convince myself I needed it.
I'd even put a carbine barrel on my T/C Contender if I could find something that caught my attention. Decision, decisions, what's a mother to do?
