First I have to say that I am worst than alot of women I know , about changing my mind . Now that I have said that let me tell you what's going on. For months I have been beating myself up on what caliber handgun I want . First I wanted a 460 S&W then 45LC then mybe a 480 Ruger and the list goe's on. But not after today. With the help of 475/480 who out of the goodness of his heart let me shoot all of the caibers in question and one that I have never heard of a 475 Max. The list went somthing like this 480 Ruger , 475 Linebaugh , 500 Linebaugh ,500 S&W and the 475 Max. I shot them till I was beside myself what great guns. I really liked the 500 Linebaugh . But I think I am going with the 475 Linebaugh there I said it can't go back now. Really this whole story was to tell you'al That 475/480 is a great guy and I enjoyed meeting him and I hope I get to shoot with him again.

Sounds like, through the kindness of 475/480, you had the perfect opportunity to choose and I believe you chose the right one. I really like my 475.

7 MAG -- great decision! You won't be disappointed with your choice!!

Isn't it great when you get to try something out before you buy it?

Excellent choice, it will not let you down

7 mag you are gonna love the 475 and it's great you were able to shoot them to decide

I have a Ruger 357 Max laying around I want to redo as a 475 Max, just have to find the right 'smith. Any suggestions? - dan

Dan, I'm partial to Jack Huntington. He did the 5-shot conversion to .475 Linebaugh of my Ruger Super Redhawk. He is one of the few gunsmiths out there that actually builds his own cylinders. Jack can be reached at: 530/268-6877 -- give him a call and just talk to him -- can't hurt.

well dan you can get great work out of dustin linebaugh's shop or his father's john and jack huntington does nice work
i'm partial to dustin as he built my 475 linbaugh but all are great choices

Thanks gents, I'll check with all of them. A couple of the traditional guys I already spoke with don't want to do the max anymore, so I've had to cast my net a bit wider. Thanks again. - dan

dan -- sending you a PM.......

Got it, and sent back. Thanks again fellows. - dan

I'd also give Alan Harton a shout. He's in Houston and does flawless work.

If you like the .475...you should talk to NE450 about his 6" Freedom Arms...I don't think he could be more pleased.
