I heard from the local gun shop today. I had a standing order in for the new H&R Buffalo classic rifle in 45 LC. It is like the 45-70 BC. Walnut stock and case hardened receiver with the curved crescent butt plate. It has a shorter forend that the Target models. I won't get to see it for a few days as I will be out of town.

What good is it? I don't know but it stirred my fires when I first read about it and now its here.. It will join its big brother the 45-70 BC.
