Either rifle will do what you want and do it very well. I have two Uberti’s, one Miakou and a Rem-Marlin. I like them in that order. Go to a gun show where you can most likely handle them all in an afternoon. Buy what feels good and best fits your budget.

Splurge on Magma Casting Pot? Worth it? Possible deal
Tall John replied to IrishPsych's topic in SASS Wire
I did this 👆👆and found it to be a hassle. I cast outside of my garage and have to use extension cords for power. There is a limit to how much you can draw. 15 or 20amps. UNLESS YOU CAN BUILD YOUR OWN PID controller, consider purchasing an RCBS PROMELT 2 or the Lyman bottom pour furnace. A prefab PID controller will cost between $150-200 whereas both the Lyman and RCBS furnaces have them built in. So one less box on your bench, one less plug, one less hassle. use your current pot to preheat your lead and transfer it to the furnace as needed. i can cast couple thousand bullets in an afternoon with this set up. My small pot in the picture is an antique 10lb tipping pot. I melt cold ingots there and transfer to my PROMELT furnace as needed which keeps that pot at temperature. Ive seen pictures of the double pot set up but they were scary looking and take Unio space. I can store all of my casting equipment on a four foot shelf when not in use. I’ve since replaced the griddle with a small toaster oven to preheat my moulds. -

LAND RUN 2026 SASS NATIONAL CHAMPIONSHIPS UPDATE
Tall John replied to Flat Top Okie's topic in SASS Wire
I plan to shoot LandRun in 2026. Already booked my hotel room and added a reminder to my Feb. 1 calendar. i haven’t taken up WB yet ‘cause i don’t have a 1911 or a holster rig set up yet…. If I did, the old schedule would be my preference. -
$65 / pound? I don’t think so!

Ruger 'pistol' short stroke cost: average price
Tall John replied to Widder, SASS #59054's topic in SASS Wire
Boogie did mine and I love ‘em but $1200 a pair! Reach out to BOOMSTICK Jay in Leonard TX. I think he’s less expensive and has a good rep here in North Texas. -
