As for the price, a MArlin GG goes for around $500, I havnt seen anything close to that price that some of you reccomend. Maybe a CZ, but I think they are closer to $900, ONLY twice the price.

Even at $900 which is $400 more than the stated $500 for a Marlin.

If say you are spending around US$12,000 all up and that probably isn't enough, is $400 for a more capable rifle being an extra 3% going to break the bank? Instead of using a marginal rifle and cartridge which could result in failure?

It doesn't take a $5000 custom bolt action or a $20,000 double to kill a buffalo. A $700 .375 H&H Magnum will do it without any fuss.

My point here is that argument is not a valid reason for using a .45/70 LA. If anyone wishes to use one, go ahead and do it, but claiming the price of a rifle is the reason doesn't add up.

A hint. Buy a CZ in good condition second hand! ALL of my centrefire rifles except a .222 were owned by at least one other person before me.

I must also point something else out.

If you pick the classic "troll topic" with ALL the right ingredients to make up the formula you really have to expect some disagreement and worse.

We have had an obvious and fairly transparent troll claim to be a member on these forums recently and at least two of his aliases here are obvious. The others we will work out over time.

Not accusing anything, but the topic material is pretty spot on behaviour.

As this thread hasn't degenerated into abuse yet it can stay where it is and open. If it does it will be closed. Almost everything on this thread has been said a dozen times before.
