There really is no need to wait if all you want is a break action 45cal. Just get a CVA Hunter or Scout V2 and convert it to a ML. Using a Hunter model it will be about the same price total as the new 45cal LR but you would have a 25" 1-20 twist. Then you will have a 45cal break action that can also handle lower end smokeless loads as well. 55-56gr of 4198 will smoke BH209 in speed and cost per shot. Thats not even a max load.
The gun i would wait for is a Accura MR in 45cal. Its been a hot topic but no confirmation yet. Less weight and nearly all the advantages of the longer range oriented options. ATM they are probably waiting to see how well the other 2 new 45s sell before it appears in a MR. The Accura LR in 45 is very likely heavier than the 50cal LR. Its over 8lbs iirc. Im pretty certain the weight specs you see listed are wrong.
Academy sports has them for 349 in stock...Scout V2. Thanks for the tip on the Accura MR
