Puma Model 92 in .454 Casull
« on: January 25, 2003, 08:04:42 PM »
I am a newbie to this site, so I may have missed this discussion already and I will apologize in advance if I have.  I found a new Puma 454 that I can pick up for $350.  It even still has all of the serial numbers on it (a plus.) :)
I am looking for reviews of this rifle, expected velocity increases over pistol length barrels, and whether or not you have had any problems using 45LC.  I am interested in the accuracy of this rifle as well.  I am a firm believer in the fact that you can't hit the air around them hard enough to get the job done.
I do not see myself banging max Casull loads out of this rifle every day, but I really think that the ability to use them if needed could come in handy.

I am also interested in putting new sights on this rifle if I can get it in the door without the boss trying to use it on me. :shock:

Thanks for the information...like the site, and hope to hear from you soon.

I found this: http://www.gunblast.com/Legacy_454.htm

This sounds  interesting, I own a FA in .454. I was thinking about a 45-70 but, after reading this review I may rethink this. I'm more a hunter than range shooter. I like the idea of one round for two weapons.

I've been paying close attention to anything written or posted about the Legacy Sports M-92 in .454 Casull.  I can't say that I've seen anything negative about them as yet.

I understand that this year they are offering the .454 in stainless steel and they will also be bringing out the .480 Ruger chambering in blued finish.

The stainless would be a great foul weather setup here in Michigan when still hunting.  Just might have to pick one up if the positive reports keep coming in! :toast:
