These guns are very near artillery.

I guess you won't be asking to shoot my 5 1/2 pound, fiberglass stocked, 16.5 inch barrel, .45-70 Guide Gun, eh?

Unfortunately, you would have to dive to see it. It was lost in a tragic ice fishing mishap.

Au contraire, I would love to shoot your guide gun. I love the 45-70 caliber as the gun does everything well. 150 grain bullet for rabbit, 48 gauge shotgun (410 is 63 gauge)or a 575 grain bullet for the big stuff. And all of these can be done in modern powder or balck powder. A wonderful cartridge.
