Some years back J.D posted about taking a buck, in the U.P, with his 45-70 lever. At least I think he did as my memory isn’t too good these days. I thought it would be fun but not very practical for me at the time. But you guys know how it goes, sometimes you get a sliver in your finger and it just keeps working at you an working at you until you do something about it.
Well a “Remlin” 1895 in 45-70 came home with me and I put a Leupold VX3 in 2 x 6 on it. Loaded up some 300 gn Nosler and learned a few things.
#1. It is a blast to shoot (no pun intended)
#2 It is an extremely accurate rifle/bullet combo
#3. After 9-10 shots off the bench it’ll give you a headache.
Thanks J.D, I hope I can do the same for you some day lol.
