craig: there are similar guns available for much less money...such as:

a ruger #1 chambered in 45-70.

an original springfield 1884/88 in excellent condition.

both are wonderful shooters and can be purchased for under a grand.

one does not have to spend big bucks to own fine guns.

Zachow, it was a five shot group, scored 3X on a 600 yard target, can't remember the score. He is a bench rest record holder and his Dad is a double gun guy and a neighbor. It is a 6 of some kind and not sure of the action, barrel, or maker. I told you I'm not much of a rifle guy. I asked if the wind was blowing hard that day. I think he got the joke.

I'm well aware of the Ruger #1 as I have several just not in 45-70 . I also have an original Trapdoor that I shoot occasionally .

However for a true BPCR a Shiloh or C Sharps or quite possibly a nice old original Sharps , Rollingblock or Hepburn is the ONLY way to go . And up until recently Dave Higginbothoms Lone Star Rifles .

Just so you know I deal in this stuff as a small buisness everyday .
