I get to go on a period style buffalo hunt with my grandpa, dad and younger brother this November. While it is not the same as an elk hunt or something more challenging, it gives me two great opportunities. One is I get to spend some time with my family and the other is I get an excuse to buy a new rifle!
I am going back and forth between a C. Sharps Arms .45-90 and a Winchester lever action in .45-90 or .45-70. I want a rifle that I can use for other hunts as well, but I think in reality the rifle will probably become a safe queen when we get back from the hunt. Opinions on what to get? Other suggestions I'm not thinking of at the moment? I have to stay period, so that means lever action or rolling block. I will need to order whatever I choose by the end of next week so I can get it in time for the hunt, so let's hear those ideas!
