A-Square Rifles???
To All:

My partner, Tye, is considering an A-Square rifle in thier .460 A-Square Short.

I am looking for input for him on that caliber as well as their rifles.

Any thoughts or experience with either?

Has anyone dealt with the 'new' company?

Thanks for your input.

Sam

If your friend's rifle will be on an A-Square action, there is no reason to go with the 460 a-square short caliber. That caliber is intended to provide increased powder capacity for a standard action (model 70). In an Enfield, you can fit a full 460 weatherby, so there is no reason to go with a wildcat (460 A2 short).

Personally I would prefer a Ruger RSM in .458 Lott to an A-Square in 460 A2 short.

The advantage of the A-Square rifles is being able to get them in calibers not commonly available, like the 500 A-Square.
