I had one in .45-70 for a while. I was working from the "Ruger Only" section pushing 400 grain jacketed flat points just over 2150 fps. In a 6-ish pound rifle that was worse than wicked. One thing I did do was put one of the thick choate (?) pads for a 10/22 on it ... bout 1-1/4th inches thick.

I have no interest in one in .45-70. I'd somewhat, maybe, possibly like to find one in .22 Hornet and turn it into a .25-20 Winchester.
