I don't need a .303 either, but a man who owns a dozen rifles that cover that ballistic ground surely knows that "need" isn't the point.


I had to confirm that. Yes. Good news. I think or bad news in that I am running out of excuses. I could be happy with a 45/70. I don't need anther 45/70 either, Yes on both counts: "need isn't the point"

The specs say 7 pounds with 24" barrel. That would work very nicely in a 9.3x72. That would address texken's complaint with 285 gr bullets at 3400 ft-lbs.
