Big bore, check
Lever-operated, check Single shot, check Obscure / reloader's cartridge, check 
Pretty traditional, too: 
And, since you want to take it on horseback:  |

It would be an odd combination to have that hanging from either my western saddle or my McClellan though....Which makes me like it even more  |

How much does a takedown .45-70 run? Are they still around the $2k mark from Wild West? I've wanted one for many years but that price point just makes it out of reach. |

I'm going to have to start saving so if I do run across one I can jump on it. |
