Remiongton 45-70 at SHOT Show in Las Vegas
10/02/06 04:10 PM

Today looked one of these over. Not bad, very plain but not crude. Real walnut, decent finish, good handling. Rear sight has tiny "U", inadequate, should be replaced or recut, rib is dovetailed for scope mounts, one Rem. representative said rings will come with it. $699 retail, $499 wholesale. Specs are 23.5" barrels, lop 14.25", comb drop 1.5", heel drop 2.25", wt. 7.5 lbs. Slot in underrib gives access to toothed wheel which spreads or squeezes barrels, about a foot back from muzzles. When will it be available, I asked, the reply was "soon". The '06 will come next. If the '06 has the usual European tiny spring tooth extractors, no good, but this .45-70 looks fine and frankly I was very impressed with it.
