40-70 sharps straight?
« on: September 09, 2009, 03:19:39 PM »
Has anyone heard of chambering the contender rifle in a 40-70 sharps straight? I've always been intrigued with this round, kind of like a small Quiqly round.

Any thoughts?

It has been done more than once in Contenders handguns, I don't know about in a rifle.  It has good potential, but it would be a totally custom job.  Bullets might be an issue unless you cast your own.  A cool idea IMO.
