Def the 454. If ya cant swig a freedom the id suggest the bfr. Accuracy is a notch above the rugers, ive seen some good, seen some bad but havent seen a bfr that wont shoot., we have 3 of them. Used my fa in africa. Wouldnt have thought teice about the bfr instead. They are great. That said i know ya said sa but theres distinct advantages to a sr 454.
