My old man is picking up a marlin in 45-70 without a ported barrel...someone at the gunshop told him the 45-70 is a bruser so he called me a few minutes ago and asked your guys opinion on barrel porting these rifles.. Does it help ? any recomendations on gunsmith ?
I told him to shot the thing first before going through all this but hes a big recoil whimp and insisted on my asking... I'll most likely end up with the rifle if its to much for him, so i dont mind at all 
any help would be great

| Depends on the loads he is using, and stock design. Standard factory loads w/ a decent stock design don't seem much different than a 30/30. Hot hand loads and niche loads have a reputation for heavy recoil. If he finds the recoil objectionable, I'd probably try a good recoil pad first. |
