.480 Ruger carbine

Does anyone have any experience with the .480 Ruger? Rossi makes a leveraction carbine that fires the cartridge and I'm wondering if it might make a good deer/bear/moose gun for 100 yard shots and closer.

The 480 is pretty awesome bud had a pistol in this caliber. I went to Rossi's website and dont see them listed. Where did you see the gun. Id be pretty interested in it do you know if its top ejection or side.

Legacy Sports International imports a M92 Win clone from Braztech. chambered in 454 Casull, 480 Ruger, 45Colt, 44 S&W Mag, and 357 Mag. A Google search will find it.

Love my 480 RSH.
If I could get a quality carbine from Ruger or Marlin (even Winchester!!)
I would jump on it in a heart beat

RE: .480 Ruger carbine

what about the puma 92 ( the lever rifle imported by legacy sports mentioned above ) , it's basically a reproduction of the winchester m92 , it's available in a 20" barrel in blue or stainless , and with the option of hi-viz fiber optic sights. the .480 ruger version comes with a padded recoil pad .
