j2, that's a nice looking rifle!
viking, I've only used (briefly) a 45-cal and (much more than the 45) a 50-cal prior to getting my 62, so I can't directly compare them. I can say, with one deer under my belt with the 62, I'm extremely impressed. Hopefully I can knock down another one before the season ends, but it's tough hunting this late in the year.
I have not seen a single instance online of anyone who got a 62 and later regretted it.
