I have that same one in SS. In good shape, I'd pay 600.00.
The porting is good at clearing people off the benches nearby. Not sure I like the ports, but it shoots well. |

the gun is probably worth around $525-$600 depending on how bad the buyer wants it. Ammo is hard to judge price on, I'd offer going price for the loaded stuff and low ball on the brass(especially if you don't reload). If it was me I'd offer the guy $550 for the whole works and see what he thinks.

That is not a bad price. I have one that I have had for several years and really enjoy it. So for I have taken 1 moose and 2 bison with it. Yes the porting is a little loud on the range, but otherwise it has not bothered me.

It has been pretty cold here, lately, so i have only put 6 rnds through it.I think the recoil with low pressure factory ammo is very mild.My wife even shot it, and thinks its great.I ordered a bunch of reloading supplies for it, and some buffalo bore ammo.I cant wait to unleash some of the higher power of a modern 45/70.Thanks for the reponces on the estimated value.

Yes, the factory ammo is pretty tame....some of the loads I worked up for elk (420 gr hard cast WFN) were just too much. Muzzle blast blew the chrono over at 10', and bruised my cheek. I shoot elk, not elephant, so I backed them off. IIRC they were 1900 fps.

I own the same gun and reloading is the way to go. You can go from mild to wild, I started out working up hunting loads using 405 grain jacketed bullets and started out on the bottom of the charts and before I reached the top I quit.
The recoil goes way up on the top third of the charts. I still load some at the top of the charts, when ever someone tells me they are not bothered by recoil let them shoot 4 or 5 of these. They can be shot but will not do more then 3 or 4 just takes all the fun out of it. |

Nice score! And, you're right, these guns thump on you when loaded on the heavy side.

I was in Alaska a few years back......talked to guy who was a guide during bear hunting season.....he carried A Marlin Guide gun.......45-70.....with handloads.....a 485 gr gas checked lead slug......leaving the muzzle at about 2000 fps. He said it hurt a LOT when shooting from the bench. He fired it 3 times to stop 2 charging bears. Did it hurt when firing at the bears?......I asked. He replied I NEVER FELT A THING! Adrenaline......a very powerful thing! |
