I will say I just bought a really nice Freedom Arms hunting revolver from these folks and all went well. Said some SCI executive’s widow was selling his stuff. FWIW…

I shot the original A Square .470 Capstick that was presented to Peter by the company when first introduced. A brutal weapon to shoot. For some reason, maybe because it just didn't fit me but one of the most punishing rifles I have ever shot.

Once you get into proper .458+ dangerous game rifes, weight and balance become more critical. Most modern guns are designed to be carried a lot and shot very little. This is why i prefer older guns...

A 470 Capstick or 458 Lott rifle should weigh around 11lb (5kg). The gun should be balanced slightly to the rear so the muzzle flip dissipates some of the recoil, but not so much that you completely lose your target.
