Not for me. My wrists hurt after 5 shots from my 30=30 contender. That 45-70 is a flinch maker.

I shot some 45-70 in my old Contender and, okay, it was plenty nasty. That BFR, though, would weigh bit more and that might help just a wee bit with the recoil. Another plus for the BFR is the single action grip. Much prefer that grip for the sake of handling recoil.
By the way, I have talked to a few folks who own those BFRs and they speak highly of the guns.

The BFR 45-70... yep I had one of those for a few years. Just have to make sure your knuckle has plenty of gap from the trigger guard! Other
than that hold on with good grip and let it roll back.

In the background was the remains of my water jug trough that the Hornady 325 round destroyed!
Yep all split firewood now!

I know they also make a short cylinder version for more traditional SA cartridges, but I've never seen one.
