My FA 454 is really one of the tightest, most accurate guns I own. When you cock the hammer it locks up like a safe. Still a beauty 23 years later. That said I also like my Linebaugh, talked to John and he built a perfect gun for me over 20 years ago. But now I got the bug again and ordered a BFR in 500 Linebaugh, I think it's an incredible bang for your buck, $1285. If I were to buy Ruger Bisley send it out to get worked on you'd be running $4000 plus. I had always wanted to have Hamilton build me one of his Nimrods, but just can't justify the cost right now. In the end I'm happy it's guns that I have to this inability to sit still and be happy with one, if it were women my wife would've dumped me a long time ago. All I can say is Thank God we're in America.
