Default RE: baikal/remington double rifle in 45/70

you can change the regulation slightly with a jack screw installed.2 of the guys that i talked too both said 3and 4 inches at 75yds,i have read reports that ,on some of the older ones the wood looked like an old stud,i know they have changed a few things including the wood.it is now walnut,when i called the dealer about the load restrictions,he said it is a disclaimer so if some one puts 2 buffalo bore super hot loads in it and touch off both barrels and something happens ,they wont be held responsible.i got some remington 405 gr sp.if i ever hunt something that is not big enough for(another continent) that load i would not be carrying a 45/70.i also have a 450 guide gun and a cz 550 in the 458 lott or 458 win(it shoots either or)and many guys say the 450 marlin and hot 45/70 s are close to the lott,NO THEY ARE NOT.
