With all the guide gun failures I would shy away from the 45-70. 35 Remington would be cool. 32 special also cool. I think I would keep it in the 336 family and the 30-30 parent case.
What failures?With all the guide gun failures I would shy away from the 45-70.
But I’ll add a personal favorite also. A BLR in 358 Winchester. Browning Lever Action Rifle.
I got a great deal on a guide gun a couple years ago plus a $100 rebate. If I buy another it will be the CBA.Well I think I've decided on the 45-70. Now I just need to decide on the model, I definitely want a Marlin even if it is a new Remington made Marlin. I'm looking at the cb, cba, gbl, trapper, and the dark series.
The .358 Winchester has never been "popular" but I'm still a big fan of it. Whitetails hit close to the right place with 200 grain Silvertips never go far and the recoil is modest when compared to cartridges like the .350 Remington Magnum and even the .35 Whelen. I've had a Savage Model 99 rifle chambered in .358 since 1977 and it has never disappointed.
