I went over to Wally world this morning and had them call thier supplier and make sure they have a NEF 45-70 Handi in stock. They did so I ordered it. They said it takes eight to ten days on in stock Items si its on the way. I discussed this with many of you on the old site but that was sometime back. My plan is to have a BC barrel added later if thats an option. I ordered the wood stock as they seem a little heavier. I would like to know what some of you use for a light load for smaller game and close up Varmits and also the best longer range deer and bigger game load. I also plan to do some black powder work with it as well. Cabelas has had my new 44 Mag now for several weeks but the weather has been so bad I have not made the trip from Jamestown ND down to Mitchell SD. Thats Bad. Thanks guys. Walmart here gets 50 percent down to order them in. I know the gun manager there well. :wink:
