Action Strength
« on: September 30, 2011, 11:07:31 AM »
How does the Browning B78 compare in strength to the Ruger #1? They are both very desirable rifles and in 45/70 should both do well with cast loads. The lower comb on the Browning just fits me better. Thoughts?

if the B78 action is Brownings falling block action (used for the 1885 rifles etal) then I would expect the strengths to be very similar
