Thanks 99! Sounds like you have some nice single shots. I used to use my 45-70 Hepburn quite a bit hunting whitetails around here. The stock design on it doesn't lend it's self to comfortable recoil management though. Zischang imigrated here from germany. He worked for the Sharps Rifle company for a while but decided that their work wasn't quite up to his standards. He did like the Borchardt action quite well and this is what he used for his target rifles mostly. In his words though, he needed to clean them up a bit to make them servicable. BTW, I do have the bullet starter and bullet mold that was originally furnished with this rifle also.
