i have had two, absolutely horrible. both broke twice, they are not in fact that strong and both times it took upwards of 6 months to get it back from taurus. if ya can't afford a freedom without question get a bfr or ruger SRH. i have both and they are both very very nice. my son is the best shot i know of, he routinely busts 2 liters 4-5 in a row at unmarked distances from 100-125 yards offhand with his bfr 454.
