hey thanks for the feedback. 45-70 been around since dinosaurs roamed, and it is available in small towns and still obviously is a good seller in rural areas or they wouldnt stock it. alma and reserve new messiko are located in the POOREST and LEAST POPULATED county in new messiko, so that tells me the round has a following.
son will have a .308 socom to use, a 30.06, my .338, my hk 91 all it his disposal to see what he likes along with buddies .300 weatherby. PROBLEM IS that i fergot to mention...........
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>>> HES LEFT(wrong) HANDED!!!!!! arrgggghh!
so all the above rifles are not in his comfort zone. figured a lever action would be a good all arounder for him until we can build or buy a quality left(wrong)handed bolt action.
he says shooting right handed is no problem, but i know as well as all of us it is not natural being wrong handed shooting a right(correct) handed weapon. wish they made steyr augs in .308 or a belted magnum(their ambidextrious).
we are taking off for new messiko next week which means......
>>>>>>>>>>>>>>THE CLIFTON ARMORY!>>>>>>>>>>>>clifton,az. look it up. fer sure a po dunker one blinker of a town.
home of winchester/marlin/wwII winchesters orgazm shoppe. this place is wayyyyy cool. every concievable winchester you can imagine. nothing like it in the state. so my eyes will be peeled for a winchester, but like the idea of stainless marlin guide gun. but man if i found a big bore xtr winchester in cherry condition i will probably jump on it with the way winchester lever action prices are going up. i mean come on how many times a year do we shoot a 45/70 for petes sake. about the ONLY person that may shoot 20-40 rounds in a years time would be a rancher nailing varmints bugging his livestock.
