Nice!
I’ll sneak this question in here - the Rossi’s that are in rifle configuration - is there much different about them or are they similar quality to the carbine style ones?
(The rifle style being without barrel bands etc)

We all know that government snipers are trained to shoot to kill. The snipers were using .308’s by the front to back length of the magazines….(my observation).

Re: S&W unconventional rifling
That’s ECR (electrochemical rifling). Used by S&W on the majority of revolvers made between the late 90’s and approx 2018. The grooves were literally burned into the bore via an EDM (electrical discharge machining) process using an electrode in the shape of the grooves. A byproduct of that proc...

You could do a .45-70 based .338 wildcat on a 336, if you’re a fan of the bore diameter.

Everyone has a .45-70. .444 is overlooked but equally versatile. There’s a guy who runs some dang powerful loads out of a modded marlin .444, and the 1886 is stronger than that action.
He’s getting a 405gr over 4000ft/lbs.
