I rarely ever buy a rifle, but when I do, it's a Henry.

Re: 45/70 ladder rounds test
I tried putting all 5 targets on here, would not work. These pics drive me nuts ( I know, short drive ). 
Two others were close, but not this good.

Re: 45/70 ladder rounds test
nice .... very nice indeed .... how would you rate barrel jump and felt recoil 
Re: 45/70 ladder rounds test
Jim, I was using a Led Sled, so recoil, not so much. The barrel did jump quite a bit out of the front rest. I wasn't really trying to control
it, just hold it on point.
The times I have shot it, without the Led Sled, recoil wasn't so bad, but it has a cumulative effect. Shoot a lot, you feel it for a few days ( I had a bruise several days )
It is quite accurate, the rest is up to the shooter.

Re: 45/70 ladder rounds test
well understood ... 45-70 Government level ammo fired from our CCH model kicks like mule .... realizing its a big game hunting rifle, its intended to take down large, dangerous critters with a single (if not very few) shots ....
