Got it on sale for $524 shipped to my FFL. THey have a complete 458 SOCOM for $600 + shipping...sooooo tempting....

Maybe someday I'll get a SOCOM upper. Then I can pair it with my 300BLK upper and have a modern semi-auto version of two classic cowboy rounds smile 300BLK is often compared to the 30-30 in its power, trajectory and ballistics, and the 458 SOCOM shooting a 325 ballistic tip Hornady has about the same effective range and arc as a guide gun out to 200 yards. Anything heavier or past that is where the 45-70 wins.
