I was there last week and didn't see a #1... (reply)

Bryan Pettet — Sat, 26 Mar 2016 05:54:52 +0000

gun library search doesn't show it. Might be gone.

I would like a #1 and a Puma/Rossi in 480 if I can find one. (reply)

There was a Number 1 .475 at the Cabelas near you a while back. The price was fair and I probably should have picked it up.

Have barely missed a couple lately but there just aren't that many I think to go around.

Really regret missing out on the .480 Puma's. (reply)

I always had the thought I'd get one "some day" and now it's too late.

Bro' Dan has the No. 1 in .475 but I have not heard a thing on it.

I've never had a desire for a max project... (reply)

Bryan Pettet — Wed, 23 Mar 2016 01:56:42 +0000

although the belted 458 max project done by Bowen for Seyfried was interesting.

It's a good gun to shoot once... (reply)

Just to say you have done it,

Max's are cool. Don't see many of them. NT (reply)

Bryan Pettet — Mon, 21 Mar 2016 01:33:07 +0000

That's good to know. Thx. You have a custom Max? NT (reply)

Jeremy — Mon, 21 Mar 2016 01:20:52 +0000

Yes, it's a Bowen .475 max. I'm not sure I have much ammo loaded for it, but it will probably be at CSA also.

Bryan Pettet — Sun, 20 Mar 2016 20:14:57 +0000

That would be excellent. (reply)

Jeremy — Sun, 20 Mar 2016 19:43:50 +0000

I'm very happy with the #1, although I'll probably lengthen the chamber to .475 Maximum at some point to match a revolver. The 480 is one of the Puma lever actions and to my knowledge has performed flawlessly.

My other No.1 is a .243 International. Scoped. (reply)

But I like it so much and find it so handy, I always thought I'd like an iron sighted one to hunt with as well.

For me what I hunt with is more important that if I get anything. I like hunting with old hunting rifles and single shots.

Though my eyes are betraying me and a few of them will probably go down the road. Seems my scoped guns will see more use.

That would be excellent. (reply)

Bryan Pettet — Sun, 20 Mar 2016 04:46:07 +0000

Thanks for the offer to see them. What do you think of them in general?

Anyone shooting .480 Ruger in a rifle? (reply)

Jeremy — Sun, 20 Mar 2016 04:36:30 +0000

I have a Ruger #1 in 475 Linebaugh and Cannon has a lever action 480. If you're going to be at CSA both could probably come with us.

I forgot about the Browning. Nice rifles. NT (reply)

Have a Browning High-Wall in 454 with tang sight, have used it for primitive weapon season a few times.

Nice report. I like the idea of combos... (reply)

Bryan Pettet — Sun, 20 Mar 2016 03:52:31 +0000

and if 2 is good then 3 might be better. Scoped #1s with peep sighted lever guns and iron sighted handguns and all in the same caliber to simplify things. That covers all of my scenarios well.

I bought a No.1 a few years ago. (reply)

cas — Sun, 20 Mar 2016 03:34:40 +0000

I have a scoped No1 and wanted an iron sighted one for hunting. I really wanted a 450/400 but I knew feeding that would be really expensive, so I bought a .475 Linebaugh. In reality I've shot it so little I could have gotten the 450/400. I hunted with it two years ago and it's due for this year's rotation as well. I like it. It'll do anything I'm likely to ask of hit. Has a punch but not abusively so like my .45-70 marlin.

Or 454 Casull in a rifle? NT (reply)

Bryan Pettet — Sat, 19 Mar 2016 23:14:53 +0000

The Puma lever gun and Ruger #1 are the only options I'm aware of. Kelly Brost had a #1 in .475 Linebaugh from Gary Reeder that I shot a good bit. That's my only personal experience with this.

I've read the reviews at Gunblast. Any other experience out there?
