The action locks with absolute security, making it ideal for powerful cartridges like the 45-70 Government.
This rifle carries the name of a man who won more long-range rifle competitions than any of his contemporaries. If you're serious about accuracy at distance, about understanding your rifle and your ammunition, about the fundamentals of marksmanship—this is the rifle for you.
The 45-70 Government remains one of the most versatile rifle cartridges ever developed. It will handle everything from medium game to the largest North American game animals.
This is not a rifle for everyone. It demands that you understand your ammunition, that you take time to develop your shooting skills, that you respect the power you're holding. In return, it offers reliability, accuracy, and a direct connection to American shooting heritage.
