Killed my first deer with a 30-30 lever. Thats my vote.
I understand your draw to 45-70. But no grizzly, elk or other big heavy game in the menu. 44 mag will do job perfectly with less recoil, lower cost of ammo and 30% lighter gun.Seems like the lever gun gets all the love. Lever gun will be added to the collection. I was thinking 30-30 but that’s a lot harder to find right now plus the 45-70 sorta solves the potential problem of being able to use it in states that only allow straight walled cartridges.
