H&R Buffalo Classic .45-70 in excellent condition and a great way to get into single shot rifles for cheap. I'm the original owner and have had the rifle since the spring of 2013. The butt and fore stocks are checkered American walnut. The tip-up action is incredibly strong and has been used by some folks with punishing Ruger #1 loads. I carefully worked in the new barrel and used only with my lead bullet smokeless (AA5744 and Trail Boss) handloads. It can certainly be used with the holy black. The 32" barrel has been relieved to allow only contact with the barrel screw and "O" ring spacer. I installed the hard-to-get, expensive but excellent, Smith Enterprises ladder peep. I added a 1lb Graco mercury tube in the buttstock for recoil suppression and also added a lace-on Kick Killer butt pad with dual Acton recoil dampeners. Trap door loads with AA5744 are easy on the shoulder and Trail Boss loads are like .22rf recoil. Weighs 9.5lbs. To boot, it's got some decent accuracy, too.

$400 plus shipping from NJ 07656 to your FFL.
