There's a local gun auction next weekend with a whole bunch of 45-70 on the sale bill. I was thinking of checking it out to troll for a bargain.

I'm sure they will range from very expensive to reasonable. Any thoughts on this style of shooting. I'm not set up for reloading which I understand is mandatory due the cost of loaded cartridges.

What should I look for as an entry level gun? Any other advice?

Thoughts in general?
