Hey guys, I'm looking to see if theres anyone that can provide info on picking a lever gun in 45-70 that will also get suppressed? I'm pretty dead set on either a bowers 458 or 50 can as a big bore setup for this, 458 socom, maybe 50 beuowolf down the road. I haven't made up my mind on this part, so if theres something better, like a silencerco hybrid please elaborate. Ive just learned that most things that Jack of all trade end up not being great, just okish.
For the lever gun I'm tracking on a few things, but maybe I'm overlooking others. I know it has to be side gate loading. I'm thinking 18-20 inch barrel, bassicaly when cut and threaded it will be almost flush with the magazine tube. I'm not opposed to sending it off for that if it means I can get a better rifle, crown, and threading done vs factory.
Sights wise im thinking the simplist will be a rail and a reflex so I dont have to worry about tall sights or irons not being suppressor height. Id love to rock some peep sight setup since my eyes are still good.
I'm looking to bang steel, shoot deer and pig as a brush gun, and have an awesome conversation piece. Ive told myself this will be my retirement gift to myself since its looking like I will be going on a medical board after 16 years in the Marines, so ive got about a year to figure it all out, get it, and work it over.
So realisticly, spend my money but please explain. I know there is the marlin x series, but if there are nicer henerys that need cut and threaded please elaborate.
