Nobody needs a rifle like that. They should be illegal.

Buy it.
A 45-70 is a good bison/bear/moose/musk ox gun.

mjohn3006;
Two quotes from Leverguns.com come to mind: Can you trust a man that calls himself a rifleman but does not own at least one levergun? and If a 45-70 won't do it, don't go! Does that help?!  Disclaimer: Another gratuitous post with a linkie to the Leverguns web site, because it's the best damn forum for levergun aficionados on the Internet. Nice guys. Great articles. Stop by a visit a spell, we'd love to have you!

ANY firearm will do that with a suitable bore obstruction. Beware the bore obstruction!

It's not a .50 cal and it isn't semi automatic, so the libtards will probably overlook it for the next ban (if you got it case hardened and dinged up the wood a little it would be so innocuous you could even take it to your next DU convention).
 Oh, you said why you shouldn't buy it. Nevermind. |

I bought it but NICS delayed me!  I always get delayed because I have a common name. But usually it is only 30 minutes. I waited an hour and then left. I'm waiting for a call. |

Buy a pumo shotgun with rifle sights. You'll get more use and accuracy out of it.

I had a buddy who KB'd his, too, but it was because he accidentally used pistol powder rather than rifle powder. Similar results.

If you ever want to scope your lever action, use a straight tube like Phil here. My 1895 has a 1-4x Kahles. It's a perfect combination of look and function. |

I'm still trying to convince Santa to bring me a 50-140.
I already have a Shiloh No. 2 in 45-70 and an original Marlin 1895 in 38-55. There's just something satisfying about setting up next to the SKS/Shotgun blaster punks, no offense meant to members of this board , and popping a cap on 65 gr of FF. It give a new meaning to "doping the wind".

Very nice.
I was helping my grandmother move some furniture a while back, and we noticed a box that she didnt recognize in the closet. In the box was this Marlin 1895SS, never been fired, brand new. Apparently my grandfather bought it before he passed away, without telling her about it. She sold it to me on the spot for $250 I love mine

The 1895s are very good rifles. There is a certain nich nothing fills quite like the 45-70 Guide Gun, it is one of the most useful rifles ever built.

FYI DO NOT BUY BUFFALO BORE AMMO,,, I have a stainless GG in 45/70 just in case the zoo has a jailbreak or I finaly go on the hog hunt. Anyway I heard about how Buffalo Bore Ammo was the hottest factory ammo you can find. Well its hot alright, I bought a couple boxes of 430 grain LFN rated at 1925 FPS. The first two shots about jarred my fillings out and the 3rd shot locked up the rifle. I mailed it to Marlin and they did fix it BUT and I called to verify this, they recomend NOT using this ammo in thier rifles because it exceeds SAMI specs.
I emailed Buffalo Bore about it since it says right on thier ammo box that its OK for this rifle. I got a song and dance. They wont refund my $$ and Im not going to use it. Ill take Marlins word over a third party ammo mfg. Ill stick with the Remi Express 405Gr stuff. |

I know this is a Marlin fest but someday an 86 Winchester in 45-70 is on my list.
Yeah prone with the 45-70 is bad ju-ju, you need to have it up snug and give a little. And when you are shooting prone the only thing available to give a little are your shoulder bones and soft tissues. |

I absolutely love our Marlin Guide Gun. .45-70 is fun and since my dad dislocated his shoulder it knocks him around too much to be used often. More gun for me!

Thanks for the tip. I was thinking more that the most powerfull I would put through it would be:
Which does not sound near as bad as the stuff you just described. But for the most part I am just going to shoot "regular" loads. |

Ahh. Bull F'ing Shit.  That Marlin buttplate is not the traditional crescent killer. A hot loads in a rifle with that crescent metal buttplate is a bitch but I've shot many a hot load(300 grains @ 1900fps) through mine and the recoil is less than high brass #4's out of my Rem870. Get a solid hit on a deer with a .45-70 and they are going only one direction. Down. Get some 300 grain 'Express' factory loads and go hunting. Be careful that the POI for 405 && 300 grain loads are different. Pick your load. Zero your rifle. Go hunting. Pick your shots. Be happy. wganz ¶ |

I had a friend that bought that exact gun at a show about a year ago, and he just did'nt have any use for it. About a month later he asked me if I wanted it for 300$ because I was moving to MT. Man was it a good decision to buy that gun, I absolutly love it, you feel like you can take down just about damn near everything with it, and you basically can.
The 45-70 has really been becoming a more respectable load for large dangerous game. There is a guy on the Garrett website that took all African big 6 with one, so you know with the proper loads you will be unstoppable. I just put in for the MT buffalo hunt this year, If I draw, I'll be taking this and a .338 WM just in case I need to take a long shot.
