Plinking at the range w/ 45-70 in 2021: Joe Exotic: “I’m never going to financially recover from this…”
*runs out of ammo in 10 minutes*
*brass goblins have already swept in and cleaned house*
*Mr. 45-70 will never be seen at the range again*
*in the distance, Hickok-45 can be heard ringing his gong and smoking pot*
Shooting holes in your wallet, as I call it.
That is one sexy beast. And that price is not bad.
If I had something to hunt that matched that caliber I would be on it.
It should work just fine on those feral piggies running around nor-cal.
I haven’t wasted time or money on CA pigs in years. The state wants a 20+ dollar tag for each and every pig and the farmers that whine about the damage they do want 600 bucks for a chance to rid them of the problem.
Here’s hoping the pigs eat the endangered species and bankrupt the farmers.
Sounds like Texas.
Some of those farmers do not really want them gone. Some even release pigs so they can charge to shoot them.
While I have no sympathy for the State, I understand why the farmers ask you to pay for providing them a service. With the with the State taking their water and taxing them to oblivion, they have to find a way to make money.
45-70 makes for a great deer gun in East Coast woods.. DRT.
“If I had something to hunt that matched that caliber I would be on it.”
*Perfect* for slung your back while exploring grizzly country…
Man, I don’t explore Grizzly country. I understand in Montana they have guard bears at the post office.
Too soon?
🤣
“I understand in Montana they have guard bears at the post office.”
“Too soon?”
Not for me.
*Snicker*… 😉
Looks like it has a threaded barrel, but then why didn’t they go with a full length magazine tube? Especially because they mention plinking. Still though, I have a weakness for takedown rifles.
I think the late Jeff Quinn reviewed this or a similar Taylor’s. Looks really nice…
Hunting Regs? Although I too would prefer full length mag tube. Especially for the $ 1800.00 range
So ship it with a plug. I bought a Mossberg 500 a couple of decades ago that came with a piece of 1/4” dowel rod installed to meet the regs for a 2+1 shell capacity. Making capacity lower is very easy and very cheap. Increasing it is expensive and difficult.
That’s purdy
I’ll join the chorus on the “plinking”. That was the first thing that caught my eye, lol.
.45-70 is about as far away from “plinking” as you can get. Boom stick go boom.
I do like this gun, though. Classic case hardened visuals, perfect shorter carbine length, robust caliber/cartridge, oversized lever. If I had the $$, I’d be plinking with it, for sure.
I bought a Marlin SBL Trapper a couple years ago, it is definitely NOT fun to shoot. Hardest kicking gun I own, even more than the Mossberg 835 with 3 1/2″ shells. Which is no fun either, but you don’t think about it when taking down a long beard.
I have the 45-70 just cause I wanted it, and I do deer hunt with it every now and then. They don’t go far. But I can’t shoot it more than a few times without bad sore shoulder.
This is a beautiful rifle here, but IMO the rail ruins the look.
Yeah, I think so, too. Either put classic iron sights on it, or at least shorten the rail to 4″.
Those Skinner sights would do me. No need for a rail.
It looks like the rail could be removeable, we don’t get a top view so can’t see how it’s attached.
The black ano aluminum does clash badly with the traditional finish on everything else.
“…NOT fun to shoot. Hardest kicking gun I own,…”
Someone has to have developed a 6-inch thick stock-pad for guns like that to ‘tame the savage beast’…
Or a 6-inch, 8 port brake. 😮
The muzzle blast will knock down the guy beside you and leave your ears bleeding, but hey, at least your shoulder won’t hurt.
If I recall correctly, Taylor imports Chiappa rifles and then color case and matte chromes certain models, so inside machining doesn’t necessarily match the outside finish. I’d like to see these made in stainless, since Taylor’s has actually figured out how to color case finish it.
i’m quite certain they spend equal time dressing the guts.
i’d start with a marlin, but wouldn’t blame anyone.
here’s something that didn’t happen, how does that fit the narrative?

Whoa :
“Their identities and charges have been released. Law enforcement agents also said one of the suspects had posted on Facebook that he was going to “go out in a big way” in reference to his recent divorce, according to The Denver Post.”…
I used to have the Taylor’s 1892 Alaskan Takedown carbine in caliber .45 Colt.
Very similar to this, except for the caliber and the fact that the 1892 Alaskan has black furniture (rubber-coated wood) rather than brown.
The 1892 Alaskan is a great takedown rifle, but I sold it because I realized .45 Colt isn’t a good caliber for long guns (not even as good as .357 Magnum), so I’m switching to .44 Magnum. It can be dangerous to own both .45 Colt and .44 Magnum lever guns, as the .44 Magnum cartridges will fit in the loading gate and magazine tube of a .45 Colt lever-gun perfectly, but then upon firing it, “kaboom!” like a hand grenade.
You just need to hand load the .45 colt to 25000 cup(and never put those rounds in a hand gin unless it is a Ruger) with300 gr bullets. Plenty of power.

That’s a nice looking riffle, I was expecting a higher price, the rail looks to modern on that gunm.
Hopefully the ammo shortage price thing gets better.
For me to buy a new gunm in a caliber I’ve not stockpiled would have to be a heck of a deal. Like $180 , and thats still high for pretty paperweights
$180 for a box o fifty.
The last time I priced .500 nitro express it was 180 for a box of 20 and that was on sale. A bargain if you will.
About $839.36 too steep.
