Another superior cartridge. I have a Contender in .45-70. You should have seen the guys at the range when I touched the Noisy Cricket off ... yaaaah

I watched a contender pistol in 45-70 break a guys nose and split his face open. Then dude asked me if I wanted to shoot it.
I was like "hell yea!"

It did recoil like a Mormon in a whorehouse. I have long arms; compensates for low upper body strength. I almost put a .475 Linebaugh into my forehead though. HeeeeWACK!

I think Burt uses one towards the end of this clip. Love this movie..375 H&H? Great old cartridge.
Once upon a time I almost laid down long green for something like this. The second dose is good medicine.
Tremors-Best scene:

I used to have a Ruger #1 in .45-70. Wish I hadn't gotten rid of it, it was sweet

Pulled the Mossberg 835 12ga mag out. Going squirrel hunting here in a few minutes.
That back bored barrel makes it pattern beautiful.
My favorite shotgun is Remington 870. Mossberg back bored the 835 barrel. Can't shoot slugs out of it but I can kill small game and turkey out to 60 yards with it.

The stainless 45-70 lever guns are somewhat popular with many river fishing guides - usually you see a mix of high-cap shotguns & the lever's.
I like the cartridge well enough for really short work but really prefer the .375 as her balance and heft allow me to be very quick and accurate with it.
Once while caribou hunting with this rifle in early winter (with considerable bear reports from others hence the caliber selection) I came upon a small herd of bou on a hillside over 500 yds away. At the time I had no scope on the rifle, only express "flip up" sights calibrated to 300 yds (supposedly) - a bit of Kentucky windage adjustment & I stoned a bull with the first shot right between the blinkers.
I think he was as surprised as I was.

I mainly just needed one for the fur and smell. I'm going to see if my dog will make a good squirrel dog.
Headed out again this weekend starting early Friday am - looking for a couple of beach deer (minimum) and gonna run the halibut longline for 3 days.
Should put some meat in the freezer - last weekends' haul was around 75 lbs of vacuum sealed king salmon.
I didn't even bother to pick up the tote of meat - just drug it into the shed & filled a small freezer to the brim.
Sad I know.

His 90 lbs girl friend took a shot, it cut her.
Couple of weeks back, me and my son were at the range, the big buck down was shooting a bolt 300 Winchester mag off a sand bag.Anybody else have a scope scar near their eyebrow?
