Just joined this forum and am looking to learn and contribute. Lots of air rifle and rimfire background, but just now venturing into big bore centerfires. I'm hankering for a brass wildlife edition 45-70. Starting to research period scopes (MVA), Skinner sights, and options on longer range sights (Soule). etc. Will likely start with Hornady LEVERevolution with the 325 gr. bullet and go from there, if needed. Would like to try some longer range shooting with the 45-70 and use it on large game hunts. REALLY wanting to go on an elk, moose, and bison hunt. If I have to settle for one, bison would win. Had a .22 Henry and let a buddy talk me out of it. BIG regret on that one. Well, gotta get some sleep. Have to get up in time for work to pay for all of this. LM

Welcome to the forum from the Shenandoah Valley, Va. Are you sure about that wildlife 45-70? Seems like you should be looking for a Winchester 92 with a big loop lever equipped with an adjustable trigger screw.....

Welcome to the forum. One of my favorite shows as a kid. The Rifleman. Im 45-70 nuts own 2 Henrys in 45-70 and love shooting both of them. The all weather likes that Hornady factory load with that 325gr Lever Evolution bullet. Ive never shot it in the CCH 45-70 because I have a load that I loaded that it likes. Al
