I had a Kodiak in .45/70 and shot it right much. It shot quite well and to the sights with the standard Remington 405 grain factory load or its equivalent.

Don't believe the stories that they will shoot anything from the 300 grain to 500 grain .45 bullets. Mine was very fussy about the bullet weight and the load intensity - just like any other double rifle.

The bunk about rechambering one of these to .450 No. 2 is just that: Bunk.

It's a fine rifle, and it's definitely a .45/70.

Just about the only bunk being spread is yours concerning the conversion to .450no.2.
I've had mine for close to a little over a year now and have taken deer and wild hogs with it without one failure, and it shoots better than some of the
English doubles I've fired and OWNED.
50 yds.-100yds. regulates with 500 grain bullets, and puts ALL of them within 2" at 50 and 4" at 100.
So lets suppose that your talking about lock-up and rigidity, just to give you another leg to stand on.
Well, you've lost on that one too, because after close to 200rds. mine is still as tight as when I got it. I even have the "new" tightness left, where its snug to open. It's not even broken in yet and I very much dought that it will be in my lifetime.
So, why not get other peoples opinions before stating something as fact on this website?-Because the un-knowing person might just be seeking to learn something that is fact, and not just based on BUNK.
