John, That's great news! Finally a double rifle that you can shoot as much as you like and not feel guilty every time you pull the trigger! I picked two up about two years ago in both the 45/70 and the 30-06. For the money, you can't go wrong. Both of mine shoot well, but are a little sticky when opening. I figure more use will likely loosen them up. Here's a couple of pictures of mine (I really think the Remington cases dress them up quite nicely!) Christopher
