It's a bit of a long story, but bear with me.
Last night a friend of mine called me up and said, I got something you need to see. So I took off over to his place, and he produced an H&R Buffalo Classic in 45-70. He says, "ya wanna shoot it?" HECK YEA! So we touched off a couple rounds down at the old gravel pit, and it was a hoot to shoot! Then he asks if I'd be interested in it. Well, yea of course I am! So I swapped him my Marlin 336 30-30 for it, straight up. Maybe not the best trade, but we're both happy.
Now, here's where I'm afraid I messed up:
It's so darn much fun to shoot, I'm afraid it'll break me buying ammo! I'm even looking for a good used reloading set up, so I can load black powder and cast bullets. Have I started down the slippery slope? What could be next? A rolling block? A trapdoor? I'm concerned!
In all seriousness, I'm quite enamored with my latest swap. If anyone has any experience with a Buffalo Classic, or even just the 45-70 in general, sound off! I'm interested to hear what you've got to say!
