cr500Factory 50 cal lever actions
Are there any rumours of any makers bringing out lever actions in 50 cal such as 50AE/ 500S&W/50 Alaskan? I have promised myself I will get a lever action again when one comes out in 50 cal.
CR 500,
here is my pride and Joy at the minute a 50-110 done on a reproduction 1886 45/70.
Wild West Guns in Alaska builds a couple different ones... Can you say "Guide Guns and Co-Pilots"?
Problem is these are not available in Australia

Bwana-bePlus, who would want a 50 AK when they can have the original?!
PC, while I object on three or four grounds to your Weaver rail, I do envy you the rifle. Happy shooting!
Bwanabe,
I know the picatinny is not traditional

but I just shoot that much better with a scope........the rail does come off and I have grub screws to fill in the holes. My smith made that rail for me from solid steel. I also sort of wanted a scout set up, so when my scope arives I will have the lyman 66wb as the irons and the 2.5x28mm leupold scout scope as well.
It will make a great pig rifle and would be good on feral horses if I get the chance to hunt them again.
