45-70 Lever Rifle, which one?

[SHELL SHUCKER]

The Pedersoli 86/71 is great if you can find one that doesn't have cycling problems.
Mine had interrupter and carrier problems that 2 gunsmiths couldn't fix and I finally sold it.
Bought a Miroku Winchester extra light which was slick and accurate out of the box.
My 2 Guide Guns will digest just about any ammo and are crazy accurate with the factory FTX 325 grain ammo.

No issues with mine at all. Nothing lighter than 405 gr. LRNFP is used in 'er.
