The Spartan Gunworks SPR22 double rifle is available in 30/06, and 45/70.
I'm assuming the action is the same, yet the specs for the 45-70 specifically state:
SPR22 89980 45-70 Govt* $559
*NOTE: For Use with SAAMI Compliant Loads Only (28,000 PSI / 28,000 CUP Operating Pressure).
I'm guessing this rifle cannot handle the heavy 45-70 loads like the Hornadys, for instance??
The 30/06 has no such statement attached. I believe the SAMMI pressure on the 30/06 is about 50,000psi.
Wold the removal of more metal for the 45-70 case cause such a big difference in what the gun can safely be fired with? I'm surprized the 45-70 cannot accept full bore loads!
