1873(?) Springfield trap-door 45/70,,,
I took a deer with one when I was 14 years old.
The shot was a bit under 100 yards,,,
Little 4-point buck went down immediately.
I can't tell you how many squirrels, rabbits, and rats I took with an 189? Winchester pump chambered for .22 short.
That was my very first fiery-arm.
