I love my Miroku .45-90, but there's nothing it can do that a .45-70 can't that I would want to do in a light, crescent butt straight stock rifle. Some people say they're comfortable, but I don't find that to be true. Give me a recoil pad and a pistol grip. The lever jumping back into your hand sucks.
In my opinion the hot nitro loads benefit a lot from a rifle set up a specific way.
