First NEF
« on: May 06, 2006, 01:29:00 PM »
Well today I decided to take the plunge and get a NEF. Today's the last undergrad exam I'll have to take so I decided to celebrate :D  
I'd been eyeing them for awhile; I love the simplicity of a single shot, breech loading rifle.  I went with a 45/70. I love the big thumper calibers and plan on using it on hogs this fall here in Texas when school starts up again.  Here's a picture of the rifle and a comparison from a .22, .223, and 45/70

Good luck with your new 45-70.  I have one and really enjoy it.  You will probably even start reloading your own, not really cheaper, but you shoot a lot more!

Makes my mouth water...Planning on getting a 45-70 barrell but I can't decide between the long BC barrell and use the traditional open peep sights, or stay with the 22 inch barrell and maybe put a low power variable scope on it.
