My son had a 45/70 in a Thompson Contender pistol.

Even with 2 sets of rings he couldn't keep the scope from moving...lol.

He sent it back to the factory and they agreed that it couldn't handle the recoil with a scope.

They offered him any other barrel he wanted so he got a 7-30 waters.

It was fun to shoot it though.

Mine is a Marlin lever gun and it can be a handful with full loads but I wouldn't trade it for anything. I shoot mostly .308, 6mmBRX and .45 for pistol.

The 45-70 will handle anything I meet.

I really like the TC pistols, I have shot a friend of mines and they are top quality.
