I found this handy carbine made by Big Horn Armory in Cody, Wyoming. Short, chambered in 500 S&W, launching a 455 grain bullet at 2200 fps. More potent than a 45-70, you do need to hold on when you shoot it...

Well, that's what I got, the extra light. The button plate was the killer.

Though dscontinued, I still see new ones selling for $1,100.00 or so at various gun shows. Though it doesn't have a pistol grip, it does have a more comfortable "shotgun" configured butt stock.

Don't do it.




There, did that help?

With a .45-70, you don't need to waste money on a rifle; just showing the cartridge to an animal will cause it to drop dead. (At least, that is what I have gathered from reading about it over the years.)

Shrapnel, you have way too many nice guns. In the interest of the present interest in wealth redistribution, please PM me at the earliest, convenient time.
