I've got a TC Encore and have several barrels for it and have been wanting to get a 45-70 barrel but haven't yet. I may just not and get one of these.
I remember my uncle having a 444 Marlin way back in the day, lever gun, and it packed a punch. The 45-70 will do anything you want it to at reasonable ranges which covers like 90% of your shots around here.
Exactly. Unless you are doing long-range sniping, in which case a Stoner or Barrett are the go to. But who does that, right? This one fits the bill on all other accounts.
I like the lever-action because it seems more reliable overall. Not sure if that it true in fact, but it seems that way.
