Hate to bring it up again. Guntests just did a review of the heritage and the taurus gaucho. I don't have the article but in their minds the heritage won. You may take it for what its worth. ...

44man states that 22 or 6mm shoot better because there is less brass than say a 30 caliber. If this is the case how is it explained that 50 bmg can shoot 1/2 inch groups at 1000 yards. If case...
From subscribing to Guntests the past few years, I can say that they regularly have to send guns back to the factory to be fixed, before they can test them. One that comes to mind is a bushmaster...

How good or big of air compressor would I need if I was going to use the air feed on the Magma star sizer?
You'll be able to find plenty of people that hate taurus cause their junk. I don't happen to be one of them. My first gun was a taurus 44, not the raging bull or anything like that but just the 44....

I need(want) a new gun. I think it's time for a lever 45-70. I was looking at the 1895GS that's the stainless one. Looks totally awesome. I also see a cowboy 1895 that holds like 10 cartridges. ...
