I loved the soundtrack in Quigley. It's funny how what we consider to be the classic old west music is actually created with an orchestra. The complexity and formality of orchestra music would seem to be opposite of how we think of the old west but that music just evokes the grandness of the plains/desert perfectly.
 
Pretty cool gun for sure, that .45-110 was a real stopper on the bad guys. But I think I'd much rather have a repeater to fight off bounty hunters, that big Sharps is made more for hunting large game I would think, not fighting. But hey! It's Hollyweird! Check your logic at the door. :)

Now, just what rascality would you be involving yourself in that would require bounty hunters to be after you?:eek::evil:;)

Not me. I want that big blasting Sharps. Remember in the movie, The Missouri Breaks, those guys were scared stiff of Marlon Brando and his big Creedmoor Sharps. A 51 Navy for close in quick work however.

I've always been a believer in larger calibers. Even more so in a revolver where smaller doesn't give you more like an autoloader.

Yep! Do you remember the first "Dirty Harry" movie? At one point, fairly early on in the movie, Harry and his partner were on stakeout on top of some building because they'd had a tip that the bad guy was going to try to kill the Priest at the church across the street. Harry was packing a 458 Winchester Magnum rifle for goodness sakes!:)
