have cracked the second wrist on my 45/70

if I could only afford one, it would be the bolt rifle


I'm pretty certain when we sing our anthem and mention the land of the free, the original intent didn't mean cell phones, food stamps and birth control.

Can't hunt with the 45-70? News to me. ;-)

I would pick the 45-70, as I handload and can run the lever quite a bit faster than I can a bolt.

Hard to argue with a 405 gr. flatnose pushing 2000 fps., but the .375 has a lot of killing power also. Probably a toss up.

I don't care for having a cocked bolt action on safe, and the lever carries nicely.


Profanity is a poor substitute for a proper education.
