[dww]

NIB 45-70 - never fired. Wood stock and blued barrel. Comes with a NIB 1.5 x 4.5 Tasco World Class scope and Weaver mount and rings still in packages. The sling is neoprene with 4 cartridge holder loops. 3 boxes of ammo comes with it, 20 Rem 300 HP and 40 Win 300 HP. I paid over 450 for this and never got to use it. Kids need a Christmas. $300 for all, FTF in Columbia, Monroe, or Olla area.

Is that the 22" barrel? Are the NEF rifles like the H&R?

Where is grayson?

about 50 miles NE of Alexandria on 165.

 

[dww]

Yes, it's the 22" barrel. It makes for a pretty compact package. The NEF is the exact same as the H&R. I'm about 38-40 miles north of Alexandria.

OK, a friend from church is looking for a package like this; in fact I have a WTB thread asking for something like this. I'm going to see him tonight and I'll tell him about your rifle. Can you come down to Pineville for the transaction?

 

[dww]

Yea, Pineville's just down the street a bit, It wouldn't be a problem. It's a heck of a deal for the price. He'll see when he takes a look at it.

Would this be good for deer/hogs or would it be better to stick with a 30-06 or .308?

 

[dww]

It would be great for deer and hogs within resonable range. You can also use it for primitive hunting, so you can use it all year round. The 45-70 has killed a million buffalo, so there's not much in the America's it won't kill. Not sure I'd hunt Brown Bear with a single shot though.

Unless you got REALLY good with the reload.

 

[dww]

Unless you got REALLY good with the reload.

The cartridge loops on the sling should help with the reloads but I still wouldn't try it.

I edited the the title to H&R. When I posted, I looked the end of the box and saw the NEF on there. The box end is stamped with both names and the gun is marked H&R. It is the Marlin era gun not the new Remington's. Shows you how many times I've actually taken it out of the box.
