Some people like peep sights. The 45/70 is a great caliber with proper ammo. Look at garret. Underwood. Buffalo bore. If you reload you are capable of many different loads. From mild to wild. It’s up to you. Great rifle maybe a scabbard in the future. Get a sling and enjoy manhood. Someone will probably show the 45/70 meme. Happy shooting. Picture would be nice from your adventure.

Make sure it’s good to go with Canada laws. Suppressor is no go obviously.
ETA They have different OAL laws. I think that the Trapper falls into the Restricted category so it takes a bit more paperwork to cross with. Definitely reach out to Canada and make sure you’re squared away before you hit the border. |

Can you ship it to an ffl in your first US stop that way you don’t have to fool with Canadian laws?

If the Canadian Laws allow the Marlin, I think that would be an outstanding rifle.
I would prefer a Prism sight, my older astigmatism eyes prefer that adjustable focus. The 45/70 is a Brute. And factory ammo can go from mild to way over the top. I would "consider" a muzzle brake... maybe ? Blast and concussion might be horrible with that much powder. |

If I read it correctly it’s not banned just restricted so an extra form and fee. It wouldn’t stop me from buying it for that purpose because the rest of its life it will be in the USA.

45-70 is always the right answer.

View Quote You won’t be able to pick up your handgun from an FFL in AK unless you’re a resident of AK. I’d personally ship it to myself. Pay for a mailbox at a pack and ship store, mail it to yourself. |

fyi, Skinner makes a light mount that attaches to the mag tube.
If you're looking for something for personal defense as well as a camp gun you might consider something in .44 or .45. It might be marginal for bears but they have a higher capacity for people issues. |

consider a 12ga shotgun also
extremely versatile. way less expensive. slugs inside of 50 yards are accurate and pack a helluva load. but if you are just looking for a reason to get a 45-70 -- go for it |

I vote "buy that gun".
I've shot 45-70's since a wee lad, Dad would load them light for the trapdoor, he'd also load them big for the Ruger No. 1. But, in practical use today, .44 mag out of a 18" barrel is almost always my choice. Mainly due to 10 round capacity, lighter handier gun, smaller lighter ammo, compatability with my revolver. But you outta get that 45-70 first |

That's what I use here. As long as you don't go to Anchorage too much, you won't have any "people" problems unless you're a dipshit and create them.
