S.S. Ultra Hunter 45/70?
« on: December 19, 2008, 02:17:58 PM »
I'd like to hear some opinions on this rifle. With the BC and Handis available in synthetic or wood stocks, is the Ultra S.S. 45/70 worth the extra dollars to anyone other than a collector? It sure is a purty rifle!

Tim,
It is a beautiful rifle. The barrel length also sets better with me than the longer barreled BC, at least for a scope mounted hunting rifle. Have you ever tried the DNZ Products (Ded-Nutz) scope mounts? They make a real solid scope mount system for my Tikka rifles and the silver finished Handi version would look great on this rifle.

No, I haven't, they only offer them in high and they cost as much as two or three sets of good rings, I only use medium and low rings.  ;)

That would be a handy 45-120 if you put a loong eye relief scope.  The guys who created the 12 GAFH like thumbhole stocks for handling recoil...maybe I should get a set for my BC...

I'd love it if the stock was ambidextrous!   :'(  Ohh well.  Maybe someday!

We're here to fight."
