[QUOTE="tim_w, post: 1456836, member: 11132"] I plan to pick one up once I have some play money above the current builds I am doing. I will use the browning rep version. As BR accuracy is not needed will likely have a mcgowen barrel which are quite good in their own right and they know these big bores lever actions well. I am only dragging my feet on whether to choose 50 or 458. Got enough vel and COAL to drive either with enough SD to take anything out to 200-300 yd which given no optic is not a real issue. My guess from past exp is the 458 will be more accurate. [B]Still not sure why that seems to always be the case.... Why .458 chambered rifles tend to be more accurate then same in .50-.510????[/B] It will mainly get used in the thick bottoms for hog and then a future planned brown brush hunt which I will take my 500 SW on. I am hoping I can get the hunt I want on Kodiak as I am not going to do another for many years I fear. If I get a chance to use my 7mm on black bear I am not sure what bullet makes the most sense. Punching a hole straight thru does not always work well and the ones that frag if they do not DRT you tend to lack any good blood trail. Hence why I always felt the AB were the solid choice as they have a bit of both. I think maybe one of the heavier hunting monos RMB and Matrix are turning out. Big petals that will break off pulse a large tumbling core punching an exit hole. [/QUOTE]
