anyone know if the Remington company Spartan Gunsworks has the sXS 45-70 & 30-06 on the market yet..how they look...how much?
Thanks, been wanting a SXS CF for along time

According to their website, there is no mention at all of an SXS. I dunno wut you're talkin about, but I can't help ya.

You can go here to dig around a bit

Good luck!

Those aren't SXS. Or are SXS something completely irrelevant? I'm confused now :?

Ramrod : You are correct abt. the sparton sxs shotguns, it is located at the top of the page for those who cant locate it.

Jim, I know I must look like an idiot now and don't make fun of me but I still can't find the (censored word) page. Would provide a link for SXS, not SPR### please? Thanx.

That's a SxS 45/70.

Fish, OK, I see the problem now. GEMSBUCK was not refering to a model #. SxS = "side by side" in shotgunner language. O/U = you guessed it, "over-under". Although in rifle talk side by sides are usually just called "doubles". It can get confusing!

Thanx dawei and Ramrod.

Too esoteric for me. Maybe we should quote Justin Wilson, the cajun comic, and call them "two shoot guns". I would hate to be behind a double in 45-70 when (and if) it doubled on me.

it is my understanding that Remington bought this line from Baikal (sp) whom among it's many other models was promoteing this gun, then dropped production of the gun before it was ever produced as they negotiated the line for sale.
They also offered O/U rifle as well as their SxS
Remington chose to name this model the SPR22 as SXS available in both 45/70 & 30/06.
Back to my original question: has anyone held this gun- shot it - will it accept a 11mm scope rail as the Baikal would?

Says "11mm scope rail" in the features section of the earlier provided link.

Why would Remington make a 45-70 in a double barrel rifle that cannot handle the higher pressures?

Thanks

JPSaxMan · « **Reply #14 on:** April 04, 2005, 12:28:10 PM »

Maybe they're warning against those who like to reload? Maybe the barrels are cheap and can't handle pressures any greater from the factory ammo? Beats me otherwise :?
