Imagine how many Mod 71's would of been spared a trip to the gun smith to be made into a .450 Alaskan if that rifle had been readily available.

Tarbe Campfire Regular Joined: Nov 2015 Posts: 1,775 Romance, MO	Originally Posted by domit getting old and forgetful, does the 4590 have a different twist than a 4570? The originals sure did! I think the 45-90 was 1 in 32 and the 45-70 was 1 in 22. Not sure what the modern guns run...someone who has one surely knows. FOTIS - I want that rifle!! USMC 0351 We know the price of everything and the value of nothing.
