I personnally don't find 45-70 a big deal, but I grew up on old remintgons with plastic but plates, and that is what I am still using. So put a rubber pad on 45-70, and doesn't seem any worse than 30-06 or shotgun.
Thank you for the info, it would be a mix of plinking and hunting, since I know .44 is enough to deer I planned on getting one anyway, I just wanted to know if .44 had merit to take out a few hog here and there, but I also know 45-70 can do the job better.
