454 casull rifle?

[telewinz]

Does anyone make a .454 Casull lever action rifle? Did a search and all I could find are handguns. I'm a little surprized.

Rossi does but buyer beware. Rumour has it that the .454 lever has been tried before, but were usually scrapped because guns don't tend to hold up well. I have no personal experience with the Rossi though.

Mateba offers a carbine version of their auto-revolver in .454....

the rossi puma 454 has been out since last spring.

It is doing just fine in the market place, and is holding up well with 454Casull ammunition.
I have shot the snot outta mine without a problem. It is just as tight as the day it came out of the box last July but is a good deal smoother.

How much and can it be had in stainless steel?

The old wive's tale about the Rossi Puma 454 lever action not handling full power .454's is just that, a wive's tale, bunk, paranoia....

I have had a Rossi 454 for awhile now, and it is turning into my favorite rifle. You should be able to pick one up for $400 to $450 depending on where you live.

I shoot HEAVY 45 Colt loads in my rifle, with nary a flinch from the gun. The action has smoothed out nicely and is tight as a drum.

The only thing that will loosen up and wear out for me shooting full power 454 Casull in the Puma 454, is my shoulder...
