I understand they are now making them again. Was wondering if anyone has gotten their hands on one yet ?

[quote="Ray Newman"]Ninety: the half octagon/half round barrel is what caught my eye along with the price. Plus I have a 'weakness' for the .45-70 Gov't. round. First reaction to the price was: "HUH"? But then again, not knowing much about when and how many made, etc., I thought ...

Anyone have any first-hand knowledge of these budget priced single actions?

Thinking about a '73 big bore. Looking for recommendations from current owners. Do you prefer .44 or .45? Will these rifles handle magnum loads?
