This last bit kind of confuses me, too. I mean, the guns were made in .45-70 {Nitro's pseudo-big-bore. ...I love it...I love the .45-70, too, and don't take it personally. I think of my .45-70 high pressure loads as the "Assault Weapon Loadings" of the .45-70 so I don't run afoul of NitroX...}
Hey I'm not anti-45/70. A double in one would make a fine brush rifle or a medium game rifle. A par with a nice vintage BP or Nitro-for-black double rifle in .450.
I just don't see the sense in 'pushing' a modern cheaply made rifle into a NE powered type round if the manufacturers weren't game to do it themselves in the first place.
A Baikal s/s in say a .450 or .470 NE would outsell a .45/70 any day if they were willing to do it.
