From what I understand the Handi rifle in 500 is quite a handful.The 45-70 has some recoil but not any worse than a 12 gauge shotgun.It definitely isn't a kid's gun.I have at present two Handi rifles in 45-70 and a bolt action Siamese Mauser in 45-70.I absolutely love the cartridge.

The more I listen,the more I hear....and vice versa.

45/70,it's almost a religion.

If you have to take a second shot then you probably shouldn't have taken the first shot.
