45-70 Buffalo Classic Modifications

[vanbuzen9]

Hey guys,

I am contemplating on buying one of these in 45-70.  I was wondering, would it be possible to exchange the non-padded stock that comes on these with a regular, vented pad stock that comes on the standard 22" models? I could imagine the longer barrel will increase weight and decrease recoil a little bit. 

Thanks!

Also have one of these with the same complaint. The stocks from any other will fit. I am going to get a rear stock from the H&R Trap and change the pad on it. The wood on this model appears to be a good match to the B.C.

I purchised a lace-up recoil pad from Cabelas,fit was good and looks were no bad,I did not think any other pads would fit the BC.

I think the stock off of the Topper Deluxe Classic is a good substitution. It is walnut, checkered and a good match for the forearm.  It has a recoil pad.

Another option would be to cut and fit a grind to fit recoil pad on it.

You can do several things as has been mentioned, I've done them all except the trap gun stock.

Dang quick, how many of those do you own?!

TDC, is this an aftermarket stock?  Also, what size limbsaver is that? A grind to fit?

thanks all for the good info!

Do you have the direct link to Cabelas for this?

Buster, see BC Recoil Pads in the FAQs.

45 total, that includes two BCs and two Targets. TDC = Topper Deluxe Classic, not all of the checkered walnut stocks are as nice as that one, I have one on my 44mag that is very plain in comparison, small grind-to-fit Limbsaver.

Thanks,

Tim

I like the checkered fluted-comb select American Walnut Co trap stock on the newer Topper Trap Gun (TTG).
No response from H&R on my request for TTG stock price/availability yet - (wrong/old mail address?).
TDC looks good too.

[PHATINJUN]

DC let us know if those new TTG stocks are available when you get a reply. I haven't even seen the gun in any stores yet.But ain't much selection of any H&R's around here . Kurt
