Gentlemen (and ladies)
Please don't waste your time and money on a Sabatti .45/70. The forend irons are too soft and wear out prematurely. This will make your gun almost impossible to open, due to the hammers not being cocked soon enough to get the firing pins away from the primers. Sabatti double rifles are garbage! Look good in the gun rack, I guess, but don't plan on shooting them more than 20 or so times.
