[QUOTE="Polizei45, post: 2142929, member: 76960"] I have also been shooting the 45-70 for lots of years. My first one was a Ruger No 3. That one was a bear to shoot until I restocked it and started hand loading for it. I have had a C Sharps 45-70 and now a Shiloh Sharps 45-70. They both shoot very well. Never shot black powder with either one. If you go to YouTube and watch some of the Sharps guys and 45-70 shooters are shooting out to some long distances. I just picked up a Henry 45-70 side gate to play around with. You can still find them at reasonable prices. What I like about the Henry is you can unload the very easy by take the magazine tube out rather then ejecting the rounds. It might be awhile before we start to see some Marlins from Ruger. As other have said the availability of components and ammo for the 45-70 is huge. [/QUOTE]
