Our local shop had a Turnball 45-90 on the shelf for a couple months. Excellent fit and finish but not quite as well done as a Shiloh. If I had the disposable income handy, I would have taken it home. Given it's heft, I don't think it would be a heavy kicker until one maybe loaded up some 540 to 545 grain slugs. With something like the 405 Gov bullets, it would be quite pleasant to shoot.
I have a 45-90 Sharps, but it weighs around 15 lbs. I'm still working my way through a first firing on a couple hundred rounds of brass, and recoil is not an issue. I'll probably be able to get a bit more powder in though after these cartridges have been blown out to fit the chamber.
