I have a Pedersoli Sharps and a Marlin 1895 both in 45/70. I took them along when we went shooting with some friends. The comment after the shooting was. "The Sharps shot the way a rifle should shoot." Next time I go shooting the sharps is coming along.

Noah what a great collection of 45/70's .
I honestly thought I had all the 45/70's I needed (at least that's what I told the wife) until I seen it...

1895Ltd III carbine WHAT A AWESOME RIFLE!!!

I've never seen one before. So tonight I informed the wife we are on the hunt for just one more 45/70

Knight very nice buck I'm guessing the left shoulder was the entrance wound

Impressive firearms guys! A .45/120, man that brings a smile to my face. I only have one so far. An 1895G, I want to get the 1895CB at some point.

That was the exit wound. I shot it right behind the right shoulder, it exited through the left. 300gr JHP @ 1800fps +/_ from about 30ft away. I was able to eat right up to the holes. It was like - bang, deer jumps, runs 25-30 and dropped stone cold dead.

[MEK1911]

LOL 30ft!!! I'm sure it would've scared the shit out of him if he wasn't dead.
I would have imagined a bigger exit hole.
