Dang!! Directly After I Told Her I Was All Done....

The 45-70 has my interest. I like the traditional looks of the brass version. At US$549 these will probably retail for about CAN$900.

Or maybe I should wait until there's a tactical model available in 458 Special Operations Command.

An all American gun in a commie round. EGADS.

The 7.62x39 is well embraced in America as well as the rest of the world for obvious reasons. It does the job well when loaded proper.

If Ruger flakes out this year and reneges on my #1 in .44 I'll be ordering one of these up too.

Looks like the rifle you lean up against the wall while sitting by the fire sipping whiskey. ...

That's a nice picture. And I already have a fireplace and whisky.

Just sent the CEO an email asking about .22 Hornet, .30 W.C.F., .30 U.S.A., .38-55, .444 Marlin & .45-70 in octagon longer barrel lengths. Couldn't hurt, could it?

The blued version is nice, the brass version is enough to make a mother eat her young.

Yes, it does exude a liberal dose of ugly.

I'm surprised the 30/30 isn't in the line up as well.

Not a bad price when you consider what some " nuts" are asking for used handi rifles on the EE.

I love my handis but only at the 300 and under price.

I just got a big boy for Xmas and my wife paid 849 plus tax for it back in November. These singles will be hopefully in the 550 range and lower on sale.

 

[hifiwasabi]

I doubt you'd see them below $600 the first year.

Still not bad when some loons are trying to get $500 for used handi's on the EE lol.Then again, if they're getting that kind of money, they're not so loony after all.The buyer however,...........

You guys are mean!

7 pound single shot or 6 pound repeater, though... Since I'm not poor, not stupid, and not interested in proving my manliness to strangers on the internet by carting unnecessarily heavy, functionally crippled rifles around... Guess I won't be buying one of these.

It ain't the gun's fault if you miss lol!

Yeah, but if I'm going to give up a feature like "is a repeater", I'd like to get something for it, not *also* lose another feature.

 

[brybenn]

Plz tell them they need to make it in 405 win

 

[brybenn]

She is a good sport about my purchases and I honestly thought I had all the bases covered, some angles more than once......... BUT then I stumbled upon this, hmmmmm nice simple 45-70. Have to email Clay....

Quite a good balance for weight and size actually. I could only imagine touching off a hot 45-70 in a 5lb rifle. Or trying to steady that 350 yard shot with a 5 lb .223. I think the heft of these is probably a good thing. But that butt plate and the straight stock on the brass model looks like it would be unpleasant in a hot 45-70 even if it weighed 10lbs. Still...hard to justify $600 Canadian or more even if they are better built than the H&R. Although in 45-70 there is an appeal....

Dak, I seen your lady in the over 30 thread. Not worth the fight, IMHO. LOL
