.444/.450/.45-70 in a marlin lever????

have read ballistics, but wanted feedback on any of these rounds. .45-70 seems to be very common in ads i have read and most important , lil po-dunker,hole in the wall,out of the way,off the beaten track pissant lil town gun stores. by lil towns i mean like alma(1/2 a blink),new messiko, reserve( 1-blink), new messiko, pinos altos , new messiko, mcnary,az., springerville, az. alpine,az, williams,az. .450 marlin and .444 marlin are non existant in towns mentioned. yes i know stock up.........but thats not the point. dont want to reload and go down that road, got enough dies btwn partner and myself to choke a horse.

about to pull trigger on juan of these in stainless for my younger 19 yr old spawn. dont care if it nails his shoulder, hes shot enough 12 ga shotguns and .300 weatherbys, .338 win mags, to understand recoil and planting stock in shoulder firmly. just want a good ass kicker of a brush elk gun for him. no fuss/muss/idiot proof goes bang everytime and doesnt ever rust. $543-599 are prices i have seen NIB.

any actual usage comments. da good / bad/ da ugly.
