I bought a Remlin in 45-70 a few years back for hunting bears in the brush. It has some cycling issues that I'm not happy with (a little more fit and finish would have helped a lot). Hopefully Remington has straightened those issues out for newer production. Meanwhile, it fires great and is accurate. I did find the LOP a little short for my preference so I added a Limbsaver slip on recoil pad for the additional LOP length. It fits well for me now and the recoil is a big push. My buddy and I both enjoyed the heck out of shooting it and sighting it in. If you like shooting 30-30's, you won't want to get rid of this gun.

I didn't get a bear with it but had a skunk look down the business end while bear hunting in an orchard and that ole skunk turned around and went the other way on the trail.
