    Ok gents, I bought a suppressor here recently that is 45 caliber magnum rated, so I'm going to be in the market for a big bore long gun here soon. My only criteria is that the barrel will need to be threaded (factory, or by a gunsmith, either way)

    I really would like to find something in 45-70 but would not be apposed to 450 marlin, 450 bushmaster, or even 458 socom. I am at the slight disadvantage as I do not reload (yet)...

    This will be a rifle I keep for life, so I want to do it right. Primary uses for this rifle will mainly be plinking, occasionally use it to hunt.

    Thoughts on what I should look at? Lever action or bolt, I do not want a single shot.

    Thanks.

    I know I will get one of those, they're too cheap not to...

    I also have been looking at a browning BLR in 450 marlin.
