Home Forums Hunting & Shooting BPCR Dammit Jim!

Between you, Sharpsguy, Gunner, Woody and now Ed, I didn't have a chance.

The auction ended today, and hopefully I'll have it in my hands soon.

I was shocked to see a Montana Roughrider chambered for 45-70, and with a 30 inch barrel, show up on Gunbroker. I was torn between this and an 1874 Military Rifle. This one showed up first and the price was reasonable.

That's a beauty Joel!
Hope you bring it to the hog hunt so I can touch it!

That's just a quick chamber punch away from some real horsepower.

You know you want to do it�

Thanks Dan. If I live, it'll make it to the Hunt in 2015. You are more than willing to shoot hell out of it.

Oh Lord.
It is not enough that Jim and Bill have nudged me closer to bankruptcy? Must you see my retinas detach? LOL

Another one bites the dust! VERY NICE Joel you're gonna love it!!

The .45-90 and .45-110 are not heavy recoilers at all; just big pushes. Your retinas will be quite fine.

I know it, but have to have something to bitch and whine about.

Quit bitching, get a 'smith lined up to punch that chamber to -90 or -110, and order a 1/4 pallet of powder.

As an old friend of mine used to say quite often, "Therein, lies the problem". If I lived where I could drive by and pick up a sheetpot of KiK powder, I'd be leaning harder in that direction.

I've gone through almost #20 of KIK since I got my gun Jim always said "ya load 110's with a coal shovel." That's a fact at 95+100grs a pop!

Prezactly! Thank God, Sharpsguy was the voice of reason saying that the standard 45/70 would do anything that needed doing.

Basically, I will be shooting Whitetails, maybe black bear if all goes well and pigs with this rifle. Surely the 45/70 will handle it.

If I were running up against real buffler or African game, I'd look harder at the -90 or -110.

I already have a teenager I can barely afford to feed. Don't need a rifle that makes matters worse.

The 45/70 will serve you well and gunner has a way of making it the little engine that could!

Now I'll be looking to pick up a couple lyman molds.

VELCOMM to der Darkside Powder Inc will ship a case right to yer door so not to worry about availability NOW the Buffler Gun Mafia will work on you to get ya using paper patched slugs Gorgeous rifle Joel!!!! Yer going to love it!!

BWAAHAHAHA!!!!! I knew you was screwed. LMAO, a Big Congrats from Okleehoma Joel.

Gunner
