Taurus thunderbolt; little bit of the jones

[Bassics]

I like this:



Looks to be discontinued but available. It has a lot of appeal to me, the 45 colt chambering, pump action, subdued coolness factor like a milf with great legs.

My thoughts though,

1-> that forestock is way back in the back. Is that really balanced well or if not, can it be modded easily to place the forestock out further?

2-> I am really a sling and scope shooter these days. I can deal with it if balanced, but are there options to go "sporterized"?

3-> any options to go with a better butt? I am fine with all the dimensions (I guess) but i would prefer a more modern soft fat buttplate. Maybe I wouldn't notice?

So... Basically you want a different rifle?

[Bassics]

Do you know of a different pump action, that would be affordable and available, that shoots 45Colt?

I'd consider 44 as well, possibly 38/357.

I want to stay away from oddball calibers. I am through chasing brass all over, it just kills the fun factor anymore. I had a shitload of fun with my dad just shooting 38s from a levergun and not giving the brass a second thought.

Wow I missed these before.

and AWA makes a repro of the lightning, as well as a cool mare's leg version, so mybe I should get one of each? But ouch the prices have got to hurt, anything from AWA is going to be high

And even higher is the beretta gold rush, but I'll be damn CDNN has it under $800.

You know, if I just had FU money right now, I would probably order one of these. But Dayum, $1800 and change?

Did you have a previous screen name, because I've noticed you've started posting like crazy lately and I don't recognize you?

[Bassics]

It's me, Casper. First registration got hosed so I changed.

Been away from shooting for awhile and suddenly got back, and this is a pretty damn good local board for all things that go boom. Always has been.

Just bought this little jewel. >17HMR Taurus pump. Replica of a Winchester 60 I believe.
Looks well built and has decent reviews. Not too expensive either.
