45/70 ?

[brush hunter]

The only 45/70 brush gun I have is a 47/70 BFR. it's nice working the brush with a gun you can holster and not hang up on brush.  Would like to find a good on a Marlin though.  Also I don't use factory loads.

Man, I miss my BFR! 440gr hard cast lead at 1600 fps from a 10" barrel will get your attention. I still have a tingling sensation in two fingers on my right hand from that gun....

You'll have to try my S/W .500 4"bbl with a 700gr cast load. Only load I have to use a glove.
Sorry for hi jacking the thread

Another one topped with see through mounts and an older Redfield Widefield 2x7. It likes the Hornadys and Buffalos, but it really likes the hard cast Garretts that I still have from when they were a local cartridge company, it will be a sad day when I rack that last one through.

I feed mine a steady diet of hornady 350g flat points in front of 50g of h4198. I love it, probably my favorite firearm I own right now.
I skipped the scope and went with a peep sight setup, sometimes I find myself wanting a quick release 2x7 or something for it, but it works so good as it sits I haven't acted yet.

I'm going to stick with the sights the are on it . And I'm going to use the Hornady 325 for deer got some for bear season
