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 .
