[QUOTE="Calvin45, post: 3078644, member: 109862"] You know what, now that this thread is alive and well again….. Ima go after somebody's sacred cow here and say something I've been feeling for a long time 🤣…. THE 45-70 IS OVERRATED AS ALL GET OUT!!!! Folks act like it's the last word in stopping power, horsepower, like it's a freaking cannon….WELL IT ISN'T!!!!!!! 🤣 At the gun counter it's "the big gun", I've heard multiple gun counter people refer to it as "an elephant gun". It isn't. Heck marlin rates it for T-REX thanks to a guide gun's appearance in Jurassic World…no thank you! 🤣🤣🤣🤣 That's not to say you couldn't kill an elephant with one. You could. They’ve been killed en masse with 7x57 and .303 British too. And I'm sure if you kneecapped an TREX there'd be little he could do to catch you, being a biped and all….And sure in a ruger number one you can sort of approach .458 win mag power, but still not really AND…that's a special case. Over the counter .45-70 ammo is nothing to get excited about as far as having a "big gun" is concerned. and resurrecting it took away from the .450 and .444 marlin ever getting their due! ITS JUST NOT THAT AWESOME!!!!!! I'm ready, bring out the pitchforks! 😁 [/QUOTE]
