But, I will admit that .450 Marlin is calling me loud and clear...

My memorys of the 444 are all warm and fuzzy, it was very nice to fire, fun actually, but stomach churning on soft skinned game.

I reckon I`ll go with a scope though, anything else just doesn`t work for me..

Lil 4 power or a 1.5 - 5 maybe..

My .444 wears a peep sight and my .450 a red dot sight...for now. If I was to take that trip of a lifetime anytime soon, it will be the .450 wearing a 1.25-4x20 Leupold European 30mm (currently atop a .358 BLR) looking for Mr Grizz and Mr Moose.
