Comments

A light weight rifle that packs a powerful punch to both the target and the shooter. The rifle's rubber recoil pad does a nice job of reducing the felt recoil.

Bullets weighing up to 500 grains can be shot from a 45-70. Even with the rubber recoil pad, 500 grain loads are truly punishing.
