Great rifle. I really like mine, but it is a 45-70. All you need to do is get rid of those scope bases?? I would also suggest a leather rap around pad. I have no idea why they put those crescent butt plates on those babies. I found a red Winchester pad and put it on mine. The gunsmith did a great job. If you want to see a picture with the red pad on it, send me your e-mail and I will e-mail it to you. I have been having trouble getting photos uploaded onto Photobucket lately. Tom.

Beautiful rifle.....Just wondering will that be a grin or a wince when you pull the trigger ?

[nchawkeye]

With that type butt plate, you don't put it on your shoulder, it's made to settle into the upper arm, just above the bicep...

[Old/New]

Beautiful. John Browning was a genious.

sharp rifle:
I use to own a 45-70 with the steel butt plate and can say I tried the 525 postal cast boolets behind 65 grains of BP .
I loaded 20 rounds think I got to the 12 shots and gave up they will rattle your bones a tad.
I sold the 45-70 and down-sized to the 38-55 winchester
