    45/70 Options Other Than Marlin?

    Fun Gun The 45/70 is a fun gun, I shoot the Ruger 45/70 single shot rifle and the T C Encore 45/70 pistol. You can Reload for the Ruger down to kill pop cans at 25 yards or Reload up to kill super un-natural creatures at 100 yards. The encore works well on pop cans and can be loaded for most...
