"Cinteal's" post below piqued my curiosity about the Puma rifle and its' use with the .45 Long Colt and the .454 Casull.
I know the Puma is made or marketed by Howa - is Howa a subsidiary of "Legacy"? Is that why I see Legacy/Puma and Howa/Puma in the ads ?
What is the general opinion of the quality of the Puma rifles in those calibers ? Are its' iron sights decent? Is it accurate (maybe 2 MOA) with both calibers? Go ahead and compare it to the Marlins.
If any of Y'All are using the Puma in .45 Colt or .454 Casull to hunt deer or hogs or black bear - are your experiences with it good or bad or ?
From the rifle(s) - how do the .45 Colt and .454 Casull compare with the .44 magnum re: deer hunting performance? Do they offer anything that is really "over and above" the .44 magnum that a deerslayer really needs ?
Where do you find your favorite handloading data for the Casull ?
How do you rate the recoil of the .45 Colt and the .454 Casull in that 6.5 lb. rifle ?
C'Mon, Puma Dudes - what say Y'All ???
Many thanks !
