Tom,I just did a search on Gunbroker,com for Ruger #1 in 45/70.The Gander price is a good one but I personally would buy a Marlin lever for less money which has just as good as and mebbe better accuracy and action strength.Not the Marlin guide gun but the 22' barrel model 1895.There's just something about a lever gun.
Rain scheduled here tomorrow morning.I had a deer hunting trip planned.Oh well.

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.
