RE: thinkin bout gettin a 45-70
The buffalo classic comes drilled for a scope. I just like the williams sight on it . It 's a peep sight so it reminds me of my Army days with a ar-15. The deer you shoot with it will have no wasted meat you can eat right up to the hole. Its fun to listen to your huntin buddies say I bet that thing will tear a deer in half or is there anything left after you shoot? This cartridge is as good a deer round out to 150 yards as it gets. You can shoot farther but I limit my shots to that. They have cowboy shoots that have 1000 yard shots, that is simply throwing a chunk of lead up and guessing where it will fall. If you get on chuck hawks web site there is some great info on there about this great round.
