[QUOTE="benchracer, post: 836538, member: 22069"] In 45-70, there is really only one answer IMO. Marlin 1895G Guide Gun. Shop for an early production model with the ported barrel. Avoid newer production rifles made after Cerberus Capital bought Marlin. I'm not sure the stainless models are available ported. Like the other rifles, you can coat the metal and either seal the factory wood stocks or purchase aftermarket stocks (I have never really looked to see what is available for the Marlin. I was always happy with the factory stocks for my purposes.). The FTX bullets can help you reach out there a bit. However, the real strength of the cartridge is close range punch. For that, load hard cast 405g lead bullets or even 405g Remington Corelokt bullets. Load them hot (up to max Marlin level loads) and you can shoot end to end through anything that walks in North America. [/QUOTE]
