Between you, Sharpsguy, Gunner, Woody and now Ed, I didn't have a chance. The auction ended today, and hopefully I'll have it in my hands soon. I was shocked to see a Montana Roughrider chambered for 45-70, and with a 30 inch barrel, show up on Gunbroker. I was torn between this and an 1874 Military Rifle. This one showed up first and the price was reasonable.

That's just a quick chamber punch away from some real horsepower. You know you want to do it�

Thanks Dan. If I live, it'll make it to the Hunt in 2015. You are more than willing to shoot hell out of it.

I know it, but have to have something to bitch and whine about.

As an old friend of mine used to say quite often, "Therein, lies the problem". If I lived where I could drive by and pick up a sheetpot of KiK powder, I'd be leaning harder in that direction.

I've gone through almost #20 of KIK since I got my gun Jim always said "ya load 110's with a coal shovel." That's a fact at 95+100grs a pop!

Prezactly! Thank God, Sharpsguy was the voice of reason saying that the standard 45/70 would do anything that needed doing.
Basically, I will be shooting Whitetails, maybe black bear if all goes well and pigs with this rifle. Surely the 45/70 will handle it.
If I were running up against real buffler or African game, I'd look harder at the -90 or -110.

I already have a teenager I can barely afford to feed. Don't need a rifle that makes matters worse.

The 45/70 will serve you well and gunner has a way of making it the little engine that could!
