.45-70 at Two Miles: The Sandy Hook Tests of 1879
Bump
A few years back Ruger released the Number 1 in a stainless flavor in 45-70 with the grey green laminated stock. It is one of my favorite hunting rifles. I harvested three Elk , 2 feral hogs and a mulie with it since purchased. Very accurate little rig.....my favorite for filling the freezer each fall.
I have a Leupold 1.5-6X on it and installed a new grip cap from brownells on it that has a compartment. In that compartment I keep a NECG #100 peep sight in case the leupold fogs up or breaks etc .... Warne QD levers make it easy to remove the glass and the NECG # 100 just fits into the half moon on the ruger. Stays zeroed .
I use a neoprene stock sock with 9 spare rounds and a neoprene and web sling that makes it a really nice rig.....
