Default RE: Single Shot rifles???

Not long ago I was at the range and a friend had a Ruger#1 S/S in 45/70.I took a couple shots with it.I was quite impressed with it. Out of the box the trigger was acceptable.I took two shots @100 yds. The two shots were touching each other.They were a little low but that was probably the way I was looking through the scope.This guy who owned the rifle is big into handloading.It took him a couple weekends to get a accurate load.Once he did it will drive tacks.This was the first #1 I ever shot.I now own this rifle.He used it to try his loads out. Once he found what he was looking for he was done with it. Wanted to sell it, I bought it a done deal.The mention of recoil. I was surprised how mild this 45/70 was. Ruger Redhawk
