[QUOTE="dennishoddy, post: 841541, member: 5412"] I owned an MK-85 that I ordered from Tony Knight when he was still selling and building them from his own business. He was even answering his own phone at the time, and got to talk to him with a question I had. I also used musket caps and got good groups from tennis ball to golf ball. Beautiful gun with a green lanimated stock and stainless barrel. It got stolen with a lot of other guns about 5 years ago, and I had to get back into the market and see which I wanted. Every time I was browsing the net, a site kept showing up, and finally found a web site for Savage MZ. Its basically a site for wildcatters and they have done some amazing things with the Savage. The action is so strong, that EVERY barrel is pressure tested to 100,000PSI, vs. the others that are built overseas, and do not offer any proof testing. I bought one, and have been nothing but satisfied with it. You can buy one from Natchez.com across the counter and have it delivered to your house without a FFL. I don't do the wildcatter thing, but with a standard load, the gun will launch a 250 grain Hornady SST at 2300 FPS. Same weight and velocity of a .416 Rixby elelphant gun. Kicks like a mule, but you only need one shot. You do have to use a special Hi Pressure sabot as the ones you get with the BP bullets will melt. they are cheap. Whatever you get make sure you get a good one, as I've had some that wouldn't put a bullet into a 24" circle. The old saying that you get what you pay for kind of holds true. [attach=full]69467[/attach] [attach=full]69468[/attach] Here are the groups I get out of the gun: [attach=full]69469[/attach] I've shot a deer out to 175 yds with it, and they don't go far. [/QUOTE]
