I would go for the V2
Charlie............food for thought.... To replace my 38-55 ...I did a .44mag and recut the chamber to a .44 X 2.080 and used the 444 brass!! I can load a 44mag charge or load it up to 47.3 gr of WW748 I'm well with in the safety range watching the primers !! It does well !!!

Do the Best with What you have !
Yep, all kinds of possibilities. I will probably just stick with the .45-70.
I've been looking at a Scout Compact in .223.
I want something I can download to .22 Hornet. The Scout has 1:10 rifling so it should handle the lighter bullets just fine.
Since I can get this rifle for just over $200 it's worth a shot.
Semper Fi!
Currently casting for .223, .308, .30-06, .30-40 Krag, 9mm, .38/.357, 10mm, 44 Mag and 45 ACP.
I like strange looking boolits!
