I don't spend much time at the rifle range, but my 45-70 is fun to shoot. It is a Model 1885 Winchester Hiwall built by John Oberlies, probably for Robert Smith, both of Dayton, Ohio. It was probably built in the late 30's or early 40's. It is set up as a target-sporting gun with both scope blocks and Winchester Super Grade sling swivels. Right now it is mounted with my Unertl Ultra Varmint 2" scope. I should be able to see 45 caliber bullet holes at 250 yards.
