Shoulder Fired Howitzer???

[NG VI]

Shoulder-fired howitzer?

You have to load the projectile and propellant separately?

Hmm, if your 45-70 is a Howitzer, I wonder what that makes my 50-90 Sharps???

A WMD. Simply put.

Googleplex,
For game "out far" the 2.5 power just don't cut it on my older eyes. For the Minnesota/Wisconsin north woods, there is, IMO, nothing better. Of course one needs to remember this is a 45/70 and should not be used for "out far" game. I know I should find a 300 yard range, and use this fine rifle tool as a howitzer. It was used as such back in the day, when men were men, and sheep were skittish.

I suppose that's where the 32" sight radius came in handy, eh? If leupold made a 1.5-5 IER scout style, that would be perfect. The longest distance I really see myself using it at in the near future is 100 yards. Maybe 200 at the most should I take it anywhere not local. It oughta drop anything in Texas in its tracks.

Thanks!

I remember the "now what" feeling and was glad I could help. Best of luck!
