Quoted: It's a Trijicon RMR, Type 1. I found a good deal on it soon after I bought the rifle (from a member here) and I figured, being very rugged, that it would be a good fit. It would be nice to have something with a little magnification, but for now I'm happy with this. I don't have any other recommendations for a red dot. View Quote Trijicon is good. I'll continue to look into this. I have a Marlin 1895 / .45-70 standard model w/22" bbl. Also all the parts to make the version Marlin didn't... The optic is the last component I need to get to complete this project. Trip to the gunsmith is slated for next month after the tax return. |

Maybe I should put my 45/70 in the cruiser just in case one breaks out onto the roadway. I think one of those would laugh at 5.56.

True story, about 32 years ago, I was tracking a burglary suspect through the snow, juvenile burglar never considered that making his egress through snow he would leave tracks. Crossed under a fence line through a field. Middle of the field I got charged by a very very angry bull. 7 rounds of 9mm to put it down. I went to .40 as soon as it hit the market. 9mm might be good enough for people, but not angry bulls. View Quote View All Quotes View All Quotes Quoted:

It can be used for extreme loads in calibers such as 458 Winchester, 458 Lott, 45-120 Sharps, and also the 45-70. In 45-70, it will not cycle through a lever action however. The overall length of the bullet is 1.690 and the length of the nose from the crimp groove is 0.720. |

The people claiming .45-70 is overkill are cute. 405 grain bullet, 1200 fps(assuming original spec load). Cheap 12 gauge deer slug , 1 ounce at 1200 fps. 1 ounce is 437.5 grains. The two are very close...but the rifle is easier to shoot well. |
