Ouch that hurt and was intelligent..... not. You really don't know anything about anyone here. Yet you profess to walk on water about your knowledge on this subject. Instead of really reading the post and trying actually comprehend , you jump to conlcusions and began tossing insults. I wouldn't say you have made any contributions to this thread. Just spewed a lot of vitriolic bullschitt.
I would venture to say, as I know who sharpsguy is and even not knowing you at all, that he has a bit more experience in shooting the 45/70 and such.
BTW I have both an 1895 and an 1886. For general hunting I'll take the 1895 everytime.
