I can feel my wallet getting lighter already

Good luck with this one after the last batch
I wish you all the best

Why do they go with the odd rubber covered wood stocks instead of a nice glass filled nylon stock? It's not like they're trying to keep the cost down.

Why is it so much more money than the .44 magnum version?

Beautiful looking gun. Eye candy !

Perfect for back packing in Canada but I'd have a hard time getting it into the USA with that 12" bbl for my yearly deer hunt in Maine.
Anything less than a 16" bbl is a "NFA short barrel rifle" down there and needs lots of paperwork to import and possess + a $200 tax stamp even for a US citizen.

Besides if I called Wanstalls to buy a $2000 gun I might as well call a good divorce lawyer at the same time.

Sorry, not this time around.

If they made one with a 16" bbl for 1/2 the money I'd be interested.

You nailed it... A 12" in a take down doesn't make sense to me. At least with a 16" both bits would be the same length.

"brand new hard chrome finish that will resist anything Mother Nature will throw at you!"

After following the thread dialog on the last batch it will be interesting to read the range/field reports from the new owners on this version.

2 G's?you gots to be kidding me....

I'd be in the same boat, but I do think it looks like fun.
