45-70 AR rifle

[Bigtanker]

Actually it's a 45-70 Auto cartridge. A little bit hotter than standard 45-70.

And it's Indiana deer legal!

I’ll take two. It looks like fun. Can you imagine what you could do to a group of feral hogs with one of these?

 

[Leadeye]

I think you would lose some of the utility of the 45-70 by running it in a rifle like that and how much advantage is gained over the 458 socom?

 

[Hookeye]

.450 Bushmaster not good enough?

 

[Leadeye]

I like 45-70, but the best thing about it is you can make it fit the gun, from the Springfield, to handguns, to the Ruger #1

 

[JHB]

Looks like the 450 Marlin with out the belt.

 

[Tombs]

If it was actually in 45-70 it'd be cool... Otherwise, why wouldn't you just use 45 raptor?

Looks fun but not $4800 fun. I already have a .45-70 Henry. I'll fill the need for something loud, powerful and ridiculous with something that fires a non proprietary cartridge like the DRD Kivaari .338 Lapua or one of the many bolt action .50 BMG rifles.

I have a 45-70 contender pistol, was shooting it a few days ago. I love shooting it but only a few rounds at a time. Cool looking AR but I will stick with my contender.

How accurate is the Contender shooting the 45-70?

 

[El Conquistador]

How accurate is the Contender shooting the 45-70?

Very accurate. I have added a haus of arms extended pistol grip and forearm with a red dot scope. I haven't shot it much over 60 yards but under its spot on.

Coolgun, but I think the big bore AR round niche has been satisfied.

Dont be silly. We need at least 8 more flavors of big bore rounds between .308 and .50. Its how we roll.

I mean, Just look a little smaller. Going just above 5.5 we have how many flavors each in 6.5 and 6.8? Sheesh.

Remington Model 8 was in .35 Remington among others. Go for it!

A buddy just built an AR pistol and a rifle in .450 Bushmaster. It's remarkably fun to shoot and ballistics are very similar to standard 45-70.

.450 Bushmaster not good enough?

No. Not when you could have a .458 SOCOM.

 

[SEMI-AK]

No. Not when you could have a .458 SOCOM.

Google 475 GAR....when 458 socom is not enough....

 

[rugertoter]

Well, it's unique, but if I were to own a .45-70, I would still want a lever gun. My brother has a Marlin, and I love to shoot it. JMHO
