Anyone else out there got one?
It's in cold storage at the moment so I don't have a picture of my PERSONAL rifle, but here is the model:
Stainless and walnut is such a classy look. This gun makes the brass on my shooting table jump from the force of that 45/70 leaving the barrel. It makes people jump at indoor ranges and always gets a look (either one of disapproval from the noise biotches or ones of envy 'cause of its power).
The only complaints I have are:
1.) the front site shade got knocked off due to recoil and was lost in tall grass
2.) Not the kick, it's like a 3.5" mag slug, but the muzzle jump.
Now both those problems are easily remedied:
-- magna porting to reduce barrel jump
-- and I'm going to get a scout mount and drop a Leupold FX-II on it
A nice feature with the sights : they fold down so you don't have to remove them entirely to mount a scope.
I prefer to fire Hornady LeveRevolutions (305gr) if not shooting handloads
