Gentlemen,

Being a forum that leans very strongly towards handgun use and also where there is a strong affection for 45/70 class rifles,it seems almost inevitable that this would happen.

There is no doubt that Garrett and Linebaugh have a big following and any criticism of them is likely to be received very poorly.I personally have a big issue with their testing methods as well as their agenda.The last thing I want is for this to evolve into a debate/argument over that and so will comment no more about it.

This is not meant to anger anyone.I would simply like to ask that the issue of heavy rifles remain a discussion about heavy rifles.Big handguns are not without merit but should be discussed seperately.I have no control over anything anyone posts but simply ask that you do this out of courtesy to me.Thank you.
