Re: OT - Eying a Colt SA 44
Try looking Cabela's Websight in the gun Library. There are several 2d generation SAA's at various prices. Another good sight is Collector's Firearms in Houston. If the grips are real Ivory and it is as new it is well worth that price regardless of caliber. God Bless.

For the money I don't think you can beat the classic 1895 Marlin in 45-70. I have one with a 3x9 Redfield scope and only have $625 total in it. Will work for anything you need to hunt. The 1886 is a fine rifle but does not do anything on a hunt that the Marlin won't. God Bless.
