I told myself no more guns, but a friend said he was selling his guide gun in 45-70 for $400.00 with ammo. He had put less than 2 boxes through this gun. So he let me shoot it. At 50 yards w/ open sights using 2 different loads for my contender I shot about a two inch group, if not for 2 flyers, it would have been about 1.5 inch group w/ eight shots. load with ranchdog 350 lgc w/ 28.5 grns of 5744 and Rem 405 backed by rel7.
So I got 4 1/2 boxes of federal 300 hp a box of Remington 300 gn HP and 3/4 of a box of 405 grn remingtons. So I think thats a pretty good deal for $400.00 7 boxes of 45-70 ammo and a almost new guide gun. Plus I already load for 45-70 for my contender carbine. the gun was made in '05.
I got an egw scope base ordered, and now need to find a leupold 1-4x20mm scope for it.
