Big Bore Rifle

They even got a big fiddy :smiley_couch:

Nothing of quality is low priced. And besides that crescent butt plate will just ruin you in recoil. That will hurt.

Grab an Encore, scope it up, and go big.

HA. I didn't figure any of this would be cheap.

:smiley_armscrossed: Nah. That's like total sacrilege. It would be like putting a synthetic stock on a flintlock.

Just browsing this forum, looked at this old thread.

Did you pick something? or still looking?

Yeah Joe.....Did you treat yourself yet?

I didn't. My FIL bought a Ruger #1 in 45-70 and to be honest i just didn't't care for it. I can't exactly say what it was I did not like about the gun, it just didn't have the right feel for me. I have been keeping my eyes open for a reasonably priced 1885 high wall repro. I will stumble across one eventually.

I've taken several deer with a 45-70 Marlin lever action and all 1 shot kills. That rifle will be handed down to the boys.
Having done that I switched to a 460 S&W Mag in a TC Encore. The 45-70 was sighted 7" high at 100 yds and dead on at 200 yds.
The 460 S&W is sighted 3.25" high at 100 yds and dead on at 200 yds.
Both shooting the same Hornady plastic tip bullet. Increase velocity make a big difference.
My son has a Ruger bolt rifle in 458 Win Mag in my gun vault and next year I plan to load that rifle with the same Hornady bullet to increase velocity and to say I did it.
