North Sylvia-Chiappa Alaskan Scout Take Down in 45-70

[MiniMe]

x2!

.454 would be better IMO, but mildly interested in a .45-70
Capacity in a tube magazine for the latter is kinda lame.

Heh, if we're going to entertain that idea why not make a levergat in .460 S&W and make it so it'll take .45 Colt and .454 and as well. Phenomenal range of loads there.
One can dream...

Yes....now I see....changed my mind; 460S&W!!

 

[frogger]

Make one in 30-30 and I'd buy two - good thing about NWO is you don't have to worry about grizzly or brown bears...

Not sure what the attraction is to 45-70?

The cartridge is way too long for amount of powder it holds.

Sure it looks impressive. But it's mostly just empty brass.

.454-Casull with a 12" Barrel would be ideal.

Just shot my 44 today for the first time.

I would buy another in a suitable caliber.

Just do a google search and type in .454 vs 45-70 and you will see the obvious differences. The .454 runs out of powder room to compete with the 45-70 in both velocity and fps.

You can also build up and hand load hotter custom loads with the 45-70. With the .454 you are limited to much less power

 

[MiniMe]

45-70 level 2 reloads are more powerful than a 454

If it took more than one shot... you weren't using a 45-70.

Hummm... 45-70 kind of seems dumb with only a 12" tube.... what would you get, 3, maybe four rounds?

 

[MiniMe]

Why not getting the Alaskan in 454 with 12" barrel and the Kodiak in 45-70 in a 16"barrel.
The Kodiak already exists.
The 454 doesn't, but they have a 45LC, maybe it could be tested for 454.

Guys, it's very early, but there is a 12" .45-70 in the works.

I'll post some pictures once they become available.

Thanks,

Stainless octagon???? need to know

I hunt a lot in the United States so I'd need one with a 16" barrel.
You can't import a short barreled (less than 16" bbl) rifle or shotgun into the USA.
The Mare's Leg rifles like the Rossi Ranch Hand are an exception as they are classed as a pistol according to BATFE rules in the USA.
Don't enter NY, DC, NJ with anything classified as a pistol ! If you do you and get caught you can expect a lengthy stopover in a state prison.

I might have to have one of those! Might as well book the physio therapist for my shoulder now!! ;0)

Definitely interested in a 12" boom stick haha

 

[bobdbldr]

Yep, .45 70 or .460 ,,12" or 16", need stainless, but if it looks like the Alaskan I want it, might as well include a limb saver in the price!
