The one in the picture is a 16" barrel. Are they 12" or 16"?

45-70 out of a 12" barrel?

I've never been that angry about anything.

Russian spy satellites will pick the muzzle flash up as a nuclear missile launch.

12", picture should be accurate to the product now.

2k? Damn. Unless some some fancy long range rifle, definitely not dropping 2k on a little lever.

Once you shoot it with a hot hand load it becomes very clear it is worth every dollar.

Holy S--t! I have a Marlin carbine in 45-70 and that is a mule, cannot imagine what a 12" is going to be like. Be a really good Tracker back up or home defense gun. Too short to get much use out of the slow 45-70

There's one on EE for a LOT less than that, or at least was 3 days ago, haven't looked since

ballistically most 45-70 perform very similar to a 1oz slug from as 12g, having built a 12" 870 for wildlife defense, I have always seen getting a 45-70 for similar purposes
I understand a lot of others feel the same way about it
