I was thinking about a buying a Ruger #1 in 45-70. I'm new to both rifle and cartridge. I'm looking for help with your opinions on both.
I'd like to get a nice 45-70. It doesn't have to be a No. 1 but after looking at whats out there, it seems to be the closest to meet my needs. My question is, are they accurate with 45-70? If not, is there another rifle that you folks can suggest in the same price range?
Also what seems to be the best cast bullet to use in these rifles? I'm looking mostly for good accuracy, but there is a good chance I would hunt with it too.
Thanks for your help!
