45/70 rolling blck

[mikestripe]

looking for 45/70 rolling block single action rifle, any local gun shops sell this type of rifle, original or reproduction OK.

Best bet there would be to look on Gunbroker at the Uberti and Pedersoli repros. Both fine fireams.

Make sure whatever you buy is good for the ammo you want to use...there is everything from black powder to safari loads available that will detonate an older gun. Great round though, good luck in your search.

Chiappa makes a falling block .45-70 reproduction of the Sharps rifle. They are very proud of their single-shot rifles. Around $15-$1600.
I think they also make a reproduction of the 1885 High-Wall, but it ain't cheap either.

If you're not married to the rolling/falling block action, here is a very nice rifle to consider,

I have a few Henry's. You won't be disappointed.

Never had an urge for a felling block in 45/70 but do have a 45/70 trap door that is fun to shoot. Got it on the cheep a butchered rifle and converted to a carbine.

I believe Indiana Gun Club had one in stock last week.
