The 45-70 club, are you in?

[John Y Cannuck]

I have a custom 1886 Win. Douglas premium barrel. Custom longer stock. 28" barrel. Weighs a ton. It's been carried many a mile when I was younger. A most satisfying and versatile round. I've even loaded round ball in it.

I still wouldn't have one, save for the fact I got a deal I couldn't pass up yesterday... Nothing against the 45-70, the cartridge intrigues me... But I already have my Marlin 336 in 35Rem and I picked up a Marlin 336SS in 30-30 for my daughter should she ever express interest in hunting... So I thought I had the levers covered? Apparently not, chuckle! 45-70 in the house!



Yes, the original owner bought it last year at Cabelas, fired 20 rounds & sold it to me. Seems the sights are on there correctly etc.

Now I just need the BearTooth Mercantile cross bolt safety delete, a base, rings & a scope... Does it ever end? LOL

Cheers
Jay

If you order one directly from BearTooth Mercantile you can also order a stainless steel magazine tube follower.

Marlin GBL , love to shoot it, hate to feed it lol.

 

[handofzeus]

Yep, 1895 classic and JM stamped GS. Aching for a double gun in 45-70 but have to sell some other things to afford it.

 

[brybenn]

Just the one; it's an interesting toy and nothing else. You can eat a sandwich in the time it takes for the sound to come back from the 535 Postells.

You found a picture of my sister in law. That would be a fun target to smack

 

[Dogleg]

I've got it at 650 yards now; gonna move it to 1/2 mile in the spring. Sorry abut you SIL.

 

[leveractionjunkie]

That’d be a great target dogleg. Half a mile would be awesome as well.

 

[ShootMeStraight]

I will buy a 45-70 rifle if I ever start casting bullets.

I’m into the 45/70 pretty deep. By far my favourite caliber.

1895 SBL
1895 GS
1895 CB

Is your SIL the white one or the orange one?

 

[sookie_69]

Nope lol. I just buy lots when old timers are trying to get out of the sport. It’s half the reason I’ve got so much on the EE usually. I’ll buy everything from the guy for the few things I want, then hopefully at least get my money back by selling the excess. He gets paid and I get stuff for free. It’s a bit of work but I like wheeling and dealing.

 

[7mag]

Ok. Im in. This is my JM Marlin.

 

[DIGGER2]

Grabbed an SBL 2 yrs ago. Has the beartooth safety delete on it now....

 

[ShootMeStraight]

I'd love to have a 45-70 but haven't had much luck finding a decent price on bullets.

The only way to go is to stuff your own

I do stuff my own, but I don't cast. I said bullet not cartridge. lol

 

[a j cave]

Have 4 now, a very fun cartridge. My Ruger #3 is a fun hunting gun.

My favourite deer stand rifle, a little blinding at dusk but nevertheless a sweet rig.....
