I got a good deal on an encore pistol frame and want to put together a 460 (I am familiar with the recoil and concussion).
1) Mobility isn't a huge priorty. In this cartridge is there any reason not to go 14"+? Is there an ideal, most efficient length?
2) Mike Bellm said the hanger bar is absolutely neccessary on a 460 - what is the function of a hanger bar and how is it better than pillars?
3) Who would you reccomend for a custom barrel? I was set on MGM, but then I read a load of reports stating poor delivery times, poor attention to detail and poor customer service.
4) I'm looking at going with Tony Gettel for wood, but is there anyone else I should checkout first?
5) It looks like some (many?) Of you are shooting rifle scopes on these - does anyone have a break down of form to do this effectively? Is it even possible with the 460 recoil?
Thanks for any help!

Definitely get it braked...I have a 24' .460 rifle. I am not recoil sensitive but other parts of the gun seem to be and keep breaking. It strips/bends forearm, scope mounts come loose even with locktight. Butt stock bolt backs out etc. Love the rifle though. Sub-MOA with my handloads and it's sudden, instant, and even immediate doom to any critter you point it at. Never had a deer finish a step
