  1. thanks a lot michael for the e-mail and i will ask my next question here now that i am signed up.

    i think after further review i am leaning more towards the xvr hunter rather than the compensated hunter. with that said, i recently found a model on gunbroker.com that is two-toned black and stainless and also has a nice muzzle break(from the factory). are you at all familiar with that because while i feel i would be more than capable of handling the recoil without the compensator this gun really grabbed me right away. if i had the money now, i would guarantee myself a high bid. LOL...

    check it out before it ends.

    I don't remember that particular .460 model. The quoted 14" barrel almost certainly includes the compensator, so the ballistics will be akin to the 12" barrel offered now.

    Just so you know...that is going to be one LOUD wheelgun. Pretty large, too. If you're cool with that, though...looks like it could be a good piece.

    Just out of curiosity...what are you planning on using it for?

    That's great! Which model is it -- is it like the one you mentioned on GunBroker?

    These things are an absolute blast to shoot (pardon the pun). Ammunition isn't cheap, but handloading can mitigate that greatly.

    I hope you report back when you get it, and when you take it hunting.

  6. yep. the exact one from the link. i wanted one that was brand new and called the whole eastern seaboard looking. after about 45 gunshops i found it in the tiniest little gunshop in northern florida. it is two tone black with the muzzle break. it was a special edition with only 300 guns being made for ellett brothers. i got it for about $500 cheaper brand new then i saw it going for used like 3 differant times. patience was the key and i will keep you updated here. thanks a lot.
