Funds are tight and going to be tight for the foreseeable future, I had sworn off any new gun purchases in 2022,, but may be able to squeeze one in
The Marlin S.S. guidegun in 45-70 and laminate has always been dream gun of mine that I really had no use for, other than shooting a T-Rex or outlaw oil company security forces (Windriver movie).
I do a ton of MD deer hunting, and have been using a 20ga H&R USH in thumbhole for the last 10 years.
With the inclusion of SWC rifles, I have been looking hard at a 44mag carbine (Ruger 44 carbine, Ruger 96/44, Marlin 44 trapper lever, Henry X series 44)
Sad truth is, I can not justify the practical 44 deer gun AND the 45-70 dream gun. But may be able to swing buying one or the other.
Eventually I was going to picking up a 44mag revolver for my fishing/hunting trips with my Son in law in western bear country.
Question: Could a 45-70 be loaded down to mimic a 44 mag in energy and felt recoil? cost difference between factory loads AND reloading of the 44mag and 45-70.
