king.460ATTN Redhawk1--.460 ?
After having a latching problem with my .460 yesterday which was corrected by tightening the ejector rod, I discovered a marred place on the "coupling-like" piece attached to the cylinder that the ejector rod slides through. Looks like a tiny gash in the metal caused by opening and closing. Any cause for concern? I'm leaving for Illinois Tuesday and just wondering if I need a gunsmith to take a look at it before the hunt begins.
Thanks for any input!

Redhawk1Sorry I did not get back to you sooner, I have been doing a lot of hunting. I would not be concerned. If you have a concern have a gun smith that a quick look at it.

king.460Thanks for the reply, Redhawk. I just got from a combo hunt in Illinois and the .460 did a # on a large doe @ 75 yds. Unfortunately only shot I had at trophy buck was during bow hunt. However, the .460 performed well as always and thank goodness the trigger puller was on as well...
How was your hunt? Did you use your .460 exclusively?

Redhawk1I used my 460 when I went on my bear hunt to Maine, but no shot was taken. I did not want to shoot a small bear. I also had my 460 Mag while deer hunting in West Virginia. I passed on a couple smaller bucks and several doe's.
So I have yet to take an animal with my 460 Mag.
