Went down to the gunshop a bit ago to pick up some 10mm bullets I had ordered. As I was waiting til he finished putting a scope on a guy's rifle, I was looking at the gun boxes with guns he just got in the mail. I noticed a short Remington box and the label said SPR22 .45-70!!!! I said, did you get a 45-70 double rifle in and he replied "just took it out of the box 1/2 hour ago - its yours if you want it. WELL DUH!!! And the price was right. He told me he called Remington and asked if they were going to ship and and they said that they doubted it. He didn't tell them he had one in his hands. They must really bea hot item.

Show us some pics...That would be a nice novelty to have....

I'm picking it up on Tuesday. He put it in the back with my name on it.

remington spr22? .45-70 double rifle?

sounds pretty

I was thinking about picking up an SPR94 in .223/12 gauge.

The problem is, I think they got it all wrong in that size. The .22/.410 version has the rifle barrel on top and the shotgun barrel on the bottom. The thumb switch selects which barrel you want to fire.

The .223/12 gauge version has the shotgun barrel on top and the rifle barrel on bottom, and double triggers (yuck!).

I am looking forward to a range report on that one. Tom.

soudns like the worse gun ever mad

I am interested in 1 in 45/70 too, do You mind if I ask what you gave for it and how does the gun feel overall? ..Thanks
