Bought a new #3 .45-70 in early 80's. Took a deer with it, love the short OA length/minus action length and also lite weight. Re-barreled to Douglas 22" and fitted #1 wood. Nice light mountain rifle...good knockdown with a Barnes 250gr at 2600+ fps.

When it's time to fight, you fight like you're the third monkey on the ramp to Noah's ark... and brother, it's startin' to rain.
