chris i agree with you,i can handle handgun recoil alot better than riffle or shotgun.(i think that 300 ultra mag i had a few years ago kinda reminded me of that
,also had a old springfield 30-06 about 18 years ago that really hurt to shoot)i guess that is why i like my ruger 257 roberts so well,then i "discovered "hunting with a handgun! i do not like a 30-06 riffle,but in my 15"encore...i love it
,454 is sweet,44 mag is cool,kinda like to have a striker in a short mag or a 500 smith
!
but i figure the 454 is plenty of gun for my hunting and as long as the 7-08 and 257 kill deer why spend the money,besides the '06 needs a scope and i would like a 3x12 burris on my 257,oh yeah i need a burris on the 454...gees im a needy person arent i...jim257
