cr500, you are probly right to keep the .45/70 as is, i suppose there is not much point in adapting a cheap gun to fire the time honored NE stuff, they just don't go together do they?

I have said I wouldn't get one of these rifles before but have changed my tune! I want a double bad but the big cash reguired is a problem, you can't think of it the same as a H&H, Merkel, Sercey, Purdey etc.

I wonder what twist they have, if it was fast enough in the .30-06 I may change my mind and get one of those.

Any ideas on when they will be avaliable?
