I have a No. 3 in .45-70. I also put a No. 1 butt stock on it. It helps but not all that much. It is a good tree stand rifle and caliber where shots are never over 100 yards or so. 405's at about 1400 fps are okay and seem to knock the whitetails down with authority.
A 30-40 Krag would be nice but haven't seen one for sale in a long time.
For no reason in particular I like the lever mechanism on the No. 3's.
