JRiekers

The .45/70 is a respectable enough round for hunts where it is adequate and can be stretched to take some dangerous game.

The reason it seems to get "dismissed" rather quickly by a lot of internet participants has nothing to do with its true capabilities but because the debates on the .45/70 have been so exhaustively brought up again and again, often by individuals that just want to "stir the pot", mostly claiming it is a DG cartridge, that many have not much patience anymore. New participants unaware of past history on 'net forums often are unaware of this and get caught up by the often 'short' negative answers.

I think if the Spartans in .45/70 come out and if they are cheap and good enough, many of us will all become .45/70 users overnight. I will be one.

Would I take one on an African safari? NO.

I would be the equivalent of taking an ex-military 8x57 "as is" unmodified on a $5000 plains game safari.

What game have you been hunting with your .45/70 and what sort of terrain? A LA would make a dandy pig rifle in scrub.
