Actually I had the 450 before the 45-70 was given to me by a former hunting buddy. I bought it with the intention of taking it moose hunting. Than I found out from the outfitter that most shots averaged over 200 yards. So I took my 06 instead.

My friend had to give up hunting with us due to health problems and he wanted me to have the 45-70. Sure couldn't turn down a deal like that.

What doesn't kill you makes you stronger. Except for bears. Bears kill you.
