Home Forums Hunting & Shooting Single Shots 45-70 Single Shot

I don't think I would like a contender in 45-70. I would think recoil would not be pleasant in one. My 45-70 isn't a single shot, but a Marlin 1895, it's pretty heavy. It has a plastic curved buttplate, even with light loads it gets your attention. I solved the problem with a Galco padded slip-on pad. It works great and and adds a little length to the buttstock. If you have a similar problem and don't want to put a recoil pad on your rifle it might work for you.
