How is the quality on the puma rifles in general and in particular I am looking at the .480 Ruger?
How do they compare to Winchester and Marlin?

Thanx
BF

I have one in .454 Casull Magnum. I think that the quality is pretty decent. Mine is in stainless and the metal looks really nice. The wood is stained very dark, almost black. You have to wonder why they did that since my stock looks to have some pretty grain under all the dark stain.The only thing I don't like is the sights! he gun is very accurate.

I've been thinking of picking up one of these, and re-chambering to 475 Linebaugh. As you have one, does this look possible? - Dan

A friend has one in 44mag and it is a great gun. I like the dark wood stainless look.
I read an article somewhere that had a test done by White Labs? on the Rossi 92 in 45 colt. They ran the pressures up above 55ksi with lots of rounds, then did a complete analysis of the internal parts and couldn't detect any changes. So I'm thinking that it is a strong reliable gun.
I have the Rossi in 357 and like it.

I am probably going to buy a Puma 92 in .454 Casull blued next week. The caliber looks like a lot of fun to play with, and would take anything down with authority in N.A.

Well, thanks for the reply. I guess I'll have to do a little more research. - Dan
