Can't blame ya Mc, they're a nice rifle, if they weren't so darned expensive at $570 and I didn't already own a great levergun, I probably woulda bought one, it was mighty tempting when I handled one at SW.  ;)

I took one look at the XLR and said to myself-- I've just got to have one of these :-*

What in the world do you have to be forgiven for? You opted to buy a fantastic rifle...Shoot it..enjoy it...and be happy you bought a great gun in a great caliber...

Loading up some rounds tonite for a day at the range with my 45-70 and my 204 tomorrow. I am using RL7 for my 45-70 as I have it on hand for my 221.
I hope it's a decent day. The weather is not so good---we'll see ::) ::)

I couldn't resist the XLR either, except mine's a good ol' .30-30.  I do feel that I've been somewhat redeemed by the fact that as soon as I had my XLR, I put another Handi on layaway.  That should count, right?

Hi Warthog:

But 'isna' a 45-70. You have strayed farther than me. Penance will be required. ;D ;D ;D ;D
