[QUOTE="J E Custom, post: 347888, member: 2736"] Sorry I'm not able to post pictures on my piece of junk but it is just 1/4" shorter than a 458 win mag. PS ; we also looked at the Alaskans but they were rimed and as you know they don't work as well in a bolt action as a belted or rimless case does. There is a 2" 458 wild cat but it essentially has the same case capacity as a 45/70 and we wanted more. Don't know how well it stacks up against the rimed 50s in a leaver gun but I have to think it will edge them out because of the higher working pressures of the case and the bolt action But it was not intended to best any thing just fill a niche for a short well handling rifle with lots of stopping power and with the right bullet decent range (400 to 500yards).
