Have the 15" full bull barrel in .30-06 and it is a fine shooter, but heavy and unwieldy for mobile hunting. Then, I have the 14" full bull barrel in .460 S&W which is close to the same as the .'06 in size and maneuverability.

So, I wanted something different in this barrel. I wanted the look at a manilcher with the handiness of a shorter barrel.

By no means is it revolver handy. But, in terms of a SP...............it's right at home with weight to tame recoil, length to provide velocity, and able to pack around.
