I missed out recently on getting a Win. 70 Featherweight in 6.5 X 55 at an auction. I have my eye on the same clasic beauty in .270 at a local sports shop. But tomorrow I am going to another gun auction and who knows what I will find there.

P.S. I have thought about a 45/70 from time to time and saw a gun I' d like to get at www.eaacorp.com. It is a side by side double. I can imagine a foggy morning calling in a bull moose with this big double heald confidently in my mitts.
