Mike,

I find it really strange that the Brits (lucky sods!

) can go to a shop and buy one of these in 30-06 or 45-70 off the shelf while, despite Remington being an American company, we don;t get to see the rifles over here.

And, in any case, the 45-70 would most certainly see more use in the US than in the UK - but the Brits are getting them and we aren;t over here.

Someone at Remington need to get their head examined...
