45-70

Quick question.How does the idea of a pump action or semi ,carbine length 45-70 or maybe even a .450 Marlin roundstrike you guy's? I was looking at some bear attack videos on some U-Tube type site and got to thinking.You know ,you don't have much time to react ,might need a quick follow up shot .( If you have not already gotten et yet)might be some more handy applications.Just some more of my craziness.........I think something like this might be neat.I have never heard of or seen one.What do you guy's think?

Would need to be a verrrry tough acyion for those cartridges. A proper working and slicked uop lever is just as fats in the right hands. Or...Benelli shotgun with Brenke slugs.

Don't forget the new .50 Beowulf. If you want a heavy-hitting semi-auto, I would go with that.

Swamp, I picked up a 45/70 XLR about 3 weeks or so ago. I want it as a DRT round since some of the property I hunt has unfriendly neighbors about 100 yards from the POI if I hit a deer. I don't want them running far and besides the gun feels great in my hands and well feels like a woods deer gun. Also will do the trick on wild dogs and other Dangerous game on the property

Thanks for the replys guy's .It's just that I have never seen a pump or auto in either.I just think a little 45-70 or 450 marlin would be a bad ass.
