Thinking on a new rifle

[Kurt]

First of all welcome to the most polite BPCR forum.

I make it no secret that I favor the .44's even if I have the .40's, 45's and the .50. What you have right now will work for the 1K with out a problem.
The 2&7/8 is a good caliber but really not needed for the 1K matches and if your a little sensitive with recoil it might not work as well as maybe say the 2.4 or 2.6 on the top end.
The .44-90bn can knock the filling out of your teeth also with 100 plus grains of powder and a 480 to 510 gr bullet. The hard part is getting a good supply of brass for that caliber because of the large diameter base that case has. The popular .45 basic brass wont work for this round.
C Sharp I heard is up for sale, I don't know if that is a fact, but if it is, it might be hard to get replacement parts for it if it closes down completely. Something to think about.
