Miles, Smoke, is doing fine and getting fat sense hunting season is over, we put on fat in the summer and work it off in the winter.
Mudhen, My 45-70 Marlin, bumps me pretty good, no way could I handle 45-70 in a contender. bet that left a smart mark! I will bring my small First Aid Kit anyway. Rio7
I had 45-70 contender and think it was a lot less punishing that the same load in a rifle.
