Just bought one, new in box, never fired. 26 inch barrel, light contour (no Sites). Paid 129.00 for it, however the state of mississippi has allowed the 45/70 to be used here for primitive weapons season, so the ml prices are in the dirt. Regular price was 199.00. I thought this was a cheap enough price for a decent no frills gun that would be dependable and accurate. Best of luck to you.
