I see that Marlin has their 1895 and Rossi has their Rio Grande version as well.
Chiappa has a line of both full and carbine versions too......Does anyone have any experience with any of these these guns?
Are they able to shoot "full" power 500 grain loads...or are they just deer guns?...I dont plan on hunting africa, but would like to be able to take a large elk or even perhaps a bear someday.
Really looking into these options cause I just want a "thumper" without breaking the bank.
Please and thank you
God bless
