NEF on TV
« on: August 29, 2006, 01:52:15 PM »
Was watching a CASS show on Outdoor Channel the pther day and they were shooting BP and other straight wall rounds, mostly single shots.

Well one fellow was shooting an H&R 45-70, std model.  Not the BC.  He had just gotten the rifle and was pleased with it.  Not much more than that, other than the jump from recoil was noticable.
God, Family, and guns, in that order!

I haven't seen that, but I have noticed some more advertising pages in various magizines lately. Guess Marlin is loosening the noose a bit  ;D Good to see I guess.

Yes they indeed do, many here have them in both .38-55 Target and .45-70 Buffalo Classic, although my .38-55 is now a .405 Winchester and one of my BCs is a .45-120. Everyone needs at least one .45-70!!! ;D

That 405 setup is sweet looking.  Love the long barrel, pistol grip and scope combo.  How accurate is it?
