.45-70 wild life

[BigAl52]

Beautiful! Needs to hang on my saddle for a while to help break it in.

Just think RR if you had one of them you could shoot a griz or two and get some nice blankets to keep you warm. Maybe one for badger to.

Ya that rifle would do the job.

Ah yes, 45-70, 45C, they make nice big holes. Beautiful. Waiting for some warmer weather to get out and punch some big holes!

I just can’t get over how perfect this rifle is. Massive stopping power, and unmatched beauty! Was hoping to get a few rounds off this weekend, but it rained the entire time. Bang therapy will have to wait just a bit longer.

I have no doubt that you are looking forward to getting out with your 45-70 and a bunch of us are looking forward to hearing your range and use reports .... will you be loading your own ammo..

For now I am using the Hornady LEVERevolution, but at $2.00 a squeeze, I will probably do some reloads for plinking lol I will do a video of my first shoot straight from the box with zero modifications. My first impressions are very favorable. This rifle just fits me well! Feels great, looks even better! Henry sure hit a home run with this one! The lever is smooth. The furniture is tight, and beautiful as well! Really can’t wait to get kicked by this mule lol

be advised, to make their LEVERevolution ammo they have to use shell casings that are shorter than standard length .... consequently, to be reloaded you should only use Hornady's LEVERevolution bullets .... if that is the way you want to go, that's fine .... as you note they are expensive (as are most 45-70 full power loads) .... for that reason we go with standard cases so that we can use any standard bullets .... if you read through several threads you will see favorable reports on Nosler's 300 gr Ballistic Silvertips .... if you are interested, at this link == http://www.shootersproshop.com/nosler-p ... -50ct.html == you can find a source that sells BLEMS at a very favorable price .... the problem with them is cosmetic and has no influence on performance .... I'm looking forward to your range reports and continued comments as you are able to get up close and personal with your Henry ..
