I have no interest in this rifle, just have a question for the single shot experts. Rock Island is calling this a 44 1/2 in .224 Clark. My understanding is that the .224 Clark is a 257 Roberts necked down to 22 and designed to use very heavy bullets for hunting deer sized game. Wouldn't this be a bit much for the 44 1/2 action?

Not my cup of tea, but the carving looks better than average we well.
