[QUOTE="Ian M, post: 102041, member: 25"] As good as some of the .45's were for deer they did not sell. As good as chrome moly is for making rifles it does not sell like stainless. The consumer makes some of these decisions since the bottom line is selling guns. The manufacturers have pretty much decided that the .45, .54 and .52 have not sold well enough to justify including in the newest rifles being offered, like the new ProHunter, Remington and guns from CVA and Traditions. That is not to say there is anything wrong with them, just that the .50 is outselling them by a significant margin. That is why the new developments in bullets are in .50 cal. (and the ones that nobody knows about are also in .50 and they are really slick). I had a .45 that shot very well, it followed a good old buddy home to Alberta last year and he is enjoying it a lot. When I get an inline for my own use I always take a plain-Jane blued with black stock since I that is my favorite. If the rifle has to be stainless, no biggie since there is virtually no difference in the two - stainless rusts about like chrome moly but just looks different when it oxidizes. At least that is my experience with having a few guns get rusty over the years. "Stainless" is only a word, it is not nearly the property we would like to think it is. I have an Encore that is on its second trigger assembly right now and the pin is still nice and snug. Have shot many thousands of shots through Encores without having an problems with loose pins, nor have I heard of any so far. The current Encores have significantly better tolerances in the receivers than they did a few years ago due to a brand new CNC machine in use now. Hey, can't a guy change his mind without you guys referring to a past statement [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/smirk.gif[/img] [img]/ubbthreads/images/graemlins/cool.gif[/img] You startin' to treat me like I am one of those pesky gun-writers or somethin'.
