I really like my Henry 45-70 lever gun. And especially the ability to load anywhere from powder-puff loads I can shoot all day long all the way up to dinosaur killers!

And then I saw this new 45-70 Auto video! Seems it shoots a new rimless 45-70 that has even more power than the century-plus old buffalo killer.Holy crap it looks like fun!!!!!

 

Yeah I saw these the other day, I was in love till I saw the price...... ill stick with a lever gun and I'd love to get a uberti 1874 sharps down under too. I love the movie quigely down under. https://www.uberti-usa.com/1874-sharps-rifle

The ammo is only available from Phoenix Arms @ $4.50 per round, $90 per box of 20 (not including shipping)!

I think I'll hold off on this one for now!

45-70 Auto:  For absolutely nothing but burning money and having fun, I guess.

Wow!  And I thought decent Carcano ammo was expensive!

Indeed.

One of those they put together 'just because".

I'd love to shoot it at the range if a friend had one, but I'd never throw money at it...
