Awesomeness the 45 70 is perhaps the most best cartridge out there!

It's a good one, seen lots of action over the years.
I always feel well armed, hunting with a 45-70. I know what it'll do and that's a confidence builder.

Some more 45-70 porn. mine is the 1895GBL. I had one of the 1970s vintage microgroove/straight grip models a long time ago. Always missed it, and eventually put this one in the inventory.

When I picked up my 1895G from the gun shop, an guy standing there said " What are going to hunt with that - a buffalo?"

My Guide gun in 45-70 doubles as a squirrel rifle.
