Had an early one from J D Jones. 12.5" SS bbl, w/magnaport. Wrecked 3 scopes and sold it. Kinda noisy, but the brass was easy to make. Use a GC 275 gr cast bullet and it hits pretty hard and is accurate.

Anyone care to recommend a smith in the las vegas area that is competant to tune up/slick the action on my 444s? Nothing wrong at this point but thought it might be smart to address some of the issues I read about such as the "Dreaded Marlin Jamb" before I wander afield w/my new grandson-s...
