A friend of mine had the same gunin .45-70 and I enjoyed shooting it. However, I had enough guns inthat caliber and wanted it inthe other caliber itcame in, .38-55.
I also loadit with the holy black and itis ahoot to shoot:
The only thing that bugs me is thatIhave to replace the fine rear sight to make it SASS Legal in Cowboy ActionShooting (CAS). I will probably put a tang sight on it.
I will be going up to the mountainsfor the last four days of our season and am toying with the idea of taking it with me. I maydo that and use my BPCR shells. I likethesmoke!!!
